First of all, to bring to the essential programs to EQDKP + on your web space.

IZArc Automatically creates archives, but they can sometimes conflict with Winzip and Winrar. Therefore, we recommend using IZArc. The latest version is indeed from 2007, but it is fully compatible with Vista and is works perfectly fine.

Filezilla Many people use Filezilla and it is free. Occasionally problems with erroneous files will occur, but they can be avoided by changing settings within the program on a case by case basis. However, this is too complicated for most users. [Http://filezilla-project.org/ Filezilla Project]
Cute FTP Cute FTP is the state-of-the-art FTP client and unbeatable in my experience. Is not free! There is a 30-day trial version, which you can view in peace. [Http://www.sienersoft.de/globalscape/ftpclients.html Cute-FTP]
FlashFXP
Alternatively, you can use FlashFXP. Is free and usually works very well. If you experience drops while using PASSV mode you can go into Site Manager and the Transfer tab to set it to Not PASSV. (PASSV may be translated poorly and may actually mean passive and non-passive mode)

Phpmyadmin To get the best out of your databases online, you should use phpmyadmin. The tool is free and is used by most hosting providers. For all other users there is the link to download: phpmyadmin Many tutorials are available by 'Googling' phpmyadmin.
Pro PHPmyBackup For regular backups and a little simpler, there are also several tools. This tool, although I myself used only once but it was very intuitive and creative. The main advantage of this tool is to CronJobs, and transfer of backups to mail or FTP clients. Furthermore, one can recall the great backups, as the PHP script calls itself cyclically, and thus avoids disconnections. So I can recommend in good conscience.

HeidiSQL There is also a wonderful tool called HeidiSQL to manage your SQL databases remotely. The whole thing only works if your host allows external access to the database server. [Http://www.heidisql.com/ HeidiSQL]
Many thanks to Wallenium for this tip!
MySQL Workbench MySQL also has their own admin tool called MySQL Workbench. You can read mroe about it here: [MySQL Workbench http://www.mysql.de/products/workbench/]
Eclipse Works well on Unix and Windows. I use myself use the older version of Eclipse with the PHP extension. It is important to know that EQDKP + is written in ISO and not UTF-8. The change may be coming soon, but should be set to ISO until then. And the Line Delimiters should be on DOS / Windows, so you get not get an invalid End Of Lines.

Important: Eclipse is not a text editor! This is a development framework based on Java!
PSPad
As a text editor I still recommend PSPad. Is a good free alternative to many commercial editors and quotes with editors in the field.
