[support] administering drupal through the web

[L.J.Bos]

Hi Daniel,

Have you ever thought of using Coda? I have to work with a client that has
a hosting provider without a decent admin console, so I have to do it all
through the command line. I managed to install Drush at the ISP and am
using Coda to get inside and do my stuff.
