Well, you can first download the file from your Dropbox to the local file storage of your iPad.

Then connect to the FTP server and upload the file.

So yes, this is possible.

Sorry, but the order is determined by iOS, so unfortunately, this is not possible. (At least I'm not aware of it).

Nein, derzeit leider nicht.

Cool, thanks, that looks really promising!

Looks like there's enough that can be done in the next few years :)

I'm currently considering writing a new, advanced syntax highlighter that would allow me to do stuff like that.

I have to admit that I've never tested it over VPN and unfortunately I don't have a working VPN server... I'll try to reproduce it!

Textastic 2.0 is now available on the App Store!

Thanks to your feedback, this version also fixes a lot of other minor issues.

What's not working with XHTML for you? Just the preview (this should work in Textastic 2.0) or do you have problems with the syntax highlighting?

The "HTML" syntax highlighting definition should work for XHTML as well.

If you have problems with a particular file, please send the file to support (at) textasticapp.com so I can reproduce it.
