FAQ's

I can't connect, what gives?

  1. Make sure you are using the most current version of Gusto. The latest version adds support for many more servers than the latter.
  2. Make sure you've selected the proper protocol, FTP is not the same as SFTP, and SFTP is not the same as FTPS!
  3. Try clearing out the "path" field in the project settings. If you're able to connect with this setting, it's likely that your previous path, didn't exist.
  4. Verify your authentication credentials in the project settings.
  5. Still nothing? Contact us and we'll get back ASAP.

Does Gusto support SFTP?

Yes!

As of version 1.1, Gusto does support the SFTP protocol.

How do I select files?

Gusto is capable of selecting multiple files for the best workflow possible on the iPad. Selecting the small grey circle to the left of any folder or file will select it.

The selection context button(gear button at the bottom of the file browser) allows you to manipulate your selection.

Also in the Transfers Client, you can select multiple items and then use the upload/download buttons at the bottom of the screen.

Can I edit my website with visually instead of with code?

No.

Gusto is NOT a WYSIWYG editor. It is NOT a rich text style editor. It IS a code editor.

You will need to know the language you intend to use, HTML, Javascript, PHP, ASP, Coldfusion, etc.

Does Gusto work over 3G?

Definitely.

Can I create files from scratch?

Absolutely!

Unlike other iPad-based editors, Gusto can create files and folders, in other words... an entire site from scratch.

Where is the save button!?

Simply put, there isn't one.

Staying true to the iPad credo relies on Gusto maintaining a persistent project state; which means that at any given time, you can leave your project and when you return, it'll be as if you never left.

How does publishing work?

Gusto has a easy to use publishing feature that can be accessed from the "Transfers" icon within the project view.

The publish feature places the current document on the project server, relative to the initial path specified in your project settings.

Example:
Server: horseandtherook.com
Path: /public_html
Current document: /gusto/faq.php
Resulting path: ftp://horseandtherook.com/public_html/gusto/faq.php
