linux php editor with ftp and webdav support

If you have been looking around to get a php editor with ftp and/or webdav support, look no further ( and especially, dont BUY anything! ).It has brought to my attention that the famous Zend Studio has a lot of hot features, like ftp and webdav support. But what are the parts where Zend Studio is build on? Right, the open source package Eclipse and a couple of other eclipse plugins ( which in this case have been made by Zend themselves ). Hot features for me are the ftp and webdav support,.. but can you imagine that these features aren't uniquely provided by Zend only? No they are just plain default plugins which are provided open source by Eclipse themselves too!

As you might feel in the text above, there are other solutions... Open source solutions I mean!

Ok, so how do we create a Zend Studio environment with equal features? It's quit simple:

1) Download the latest Eclipse SDK from eclipse.org

2) Install PDT ( PHP Development Tools) using http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/

3) Install the features you'd like ( such as 'ftp and webdav support') by using the Target Management plugin for eclipse. More info at: http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/

Probably saved you guys or girls quit a few bucks with this
