Yes, but shouldn’t you be doing your job while at work (a corporate firewall indicates that you most likely are). *And* if php development is part of your job, then I don’t see why the IT administrators would have a problem giving you access to do your job.

But as in all SaaS applications the first reactions are fear of security/privacy so I totally understand your viewpoint and can only say that I hope that one day we will be big enough (read secure enough) for you to try use out.:) Hi Ted,

I'm sure its a great help to many people, but I wouldn't see myself ever using such a thing, even if we can remove the saved password from your server. This is because I prefer to limit the amount of potential security holes a site might have when working on it.And I'd bet good money that gmail is much more secure than phpanywhere. ;) Ivan,

So the real screen area where you can edit your code is limited.I prefer to use a file manager installed on my desktop with FTP capabilities (of course this won't work if the FTP port is blocked).
