# Editing files in an external editor

Transmit can open plain text files using any one of a number of third-party text editor applications, including BBEdit, BBEdit Lite, PageSpinner, SubEthaEdit, TexEdit, TextMate, and TextWrangler.

If the file being edited is on a server, any changes made in the editor will automatically be uploaded back to the server by Transmit whenever the file is saved.

Select the file to be edited.

Choose File > Edit in BBEdit. (If you have changed the default editor, its name will appear in place of BBEdit's.)

Make the desired changes in the editor.

If you want to keep the changes, save the file in the editor.

The editor can be closed or quit when it is no longer needed.
