I would like to see the
Save and Publish to FTP option added to the context menu for the tab in the editing space.
The reason is that the Save to FTP option brings up the FTP dialog while the Publish option brings up a confirmation dialog that can be turned off. Publish allows one-click publishing.
I created a toolbar for FTP that includes Save and Publish to FTP but it is less convenient than having it on the tab's menu.
I think in terms of publishing due to my long use of FrontPage/Expression Web and other tools. I understand Save to FTP intellectually (with one caveat) but it presented a stumbling block for me as I was learning Rapid. To me "Publish" means "take this file (or more than one) and put it someplace else after (optionally) saving the local copy." I say "someplace else" because I again think in terms of FP/EW's ability to publish to destinations other than FTP, including a different location in the local file system (i.e., backup). I always think of Save as being a completely local operation, which is why Save to FTP is an awkward concept for me.
