Every so often I need the ability to transfer files directly from one server to another. Now this could be done by using a standard ftp program like filezilla and first copying it from a remote computer to the local computer and then again copying it back to another remote computer. Although, sometimes it is nice to go the more direct route and use a program that supports fxp which allows connecting to 2 remote servers and transfering directly from one to the other. Wikipedia has a nice list of programs that support this.

If your a web developer and you haven’t yet switched to internet explorer 7 (ie7) then now might be a good time. Microsoft has announced that they plan on distributing ie7 via automatic update by November 1st.

Since many computers are set to automatically update. It might be a good idea to start checking sites in ie7. So you can be prepared for sites that ie7 might break.

As people start transitioning to ie7 you may still want to test sites in ie6. This can be done by installing ie6 as a standalone application. The ie6 standalone version can be found here.

Below are a few css items that should not be used to hide the css from ie:

• html > body - more info
• * html - more info
• head:first-child + body - more info
• head + body - more info
• body > element - more info

If you want to target IE or bypass IE, you can use conditional comments.
