Ive written about this on my site but would like to get everyones opinion on some useful programs out there and a description of what they do.
Here is a list of programs I think would help almost any web designer/developer:
Notepad++ - Awesome opensource text editor with syntax highlighting and tabs
WinMerge - Opensource text file comparing. Save yourself hours by comparing files side by side. Open twto docs and then click search, it will highlight the differences between the two.
Filezilla - Opensource FTP program, everyone uses it, so should you. Very easy and logical layout with ability to store multiple sites and keep them in categories. Multiple uploads simultaneously and large uploads
Audacity - Opensource audio recording and editing. You will need to plugin with the MP3 dll to enable export of MP3 but once you do very easy to edit sounds and music
7zip - Opensource archive utility supports a bunch of archives like:
* Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR
* Unpacking only: RAR, CAB, ISO, ARJ, LZH, CHM, MSI, WIM, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB and NSIS
Xenu Link Sleuth - Link checker. Simple and easy to check all your links across your site. Spiders your site and checks for errors
