You can also give Keywordspy a try. KeywordSpy.com is a Keyword Research Tool that helps identify what keywords competitors use, with results actually reflecting what advertisers are using at the current time. - http://www.keywordspy.com

For SSH I use Putty (yes there is a linux port) or just the regular command line from a terminal,
FTP/SFTP I use gFTP or just the regular command line from a terminal,
Instead of Quanta, take a look at Bluefish - It is really fast and bloat-free

For your SEO wor, I tried one recently that is good and does work under Linux as its a java app
Advanced web Ranking AWK

Its one of the better SEO tools anyway.

For Winscp, I have been using Filezilla(now a native Linux version and available in the Ubuntu universe) and gftp as well. Both do sftp very well.

I second the nmap/nmapfe combo

Also, Dreamweaver 8 works fairly well in the latest wine;

Thanks guys, all good tips. Crossover office is new to me, I’ll give the demo a trial with Access and SEOelite and report back.

Hope the new job is going well Paul.

Hi,

As already mentioned nmap is a great port scanner.

For WinSCP; if I remember you guys are using standard Ubuntu which uses GNOME, so in the filemanager (Nautilus) you can select File -> Connect to Server. From there you can select SSH, enter the server name, folder, username, and name for the connection (this is what it will be labelled on the desktop). Alternatively if you want a two pane style ftp like program, then you could use gftp - little bit old and crufty but does the job.

As another alternative to Dreamweaver you could try NVU - built on Mozilla / Firefox. Not a web designer myself so not really sure how they compare, but for the bits that I’ve done it’s been very useful.

Sorry no idea on seoelite (have you tried in crossover office?).

For WinSCP: in case you are using KDE, just use a sftp:// URL or fish:// URL in Konqueror, e.g.

sftp://server/
or
sftp://user@server/

sftp needs the SFTP feature enabled on the SSH server side, fish works through a normal SSH connection. Prefer sftp if possible, it was designed to be used for file transfer operations

The best port scanner is “nmap” (it uses command line interface; give a try to “nmapfe” if you need a GUI).
