Eclipse and FTP

[The_Aegidius]

Is it possible to add FTP support to Eclipse for editing remote files directly?

I don't know, but you might want to consider the alternative of mounting your remote directory to your local file system using FUSE/ftpfs. Then it appears to be a local file to Eclipse and any other program (but is actually transferred to the FTP server whenever you save it).

dont use ftp or ftps, use ssh

I'm just connected to the FTP server, doing Connect to server from the Places menu, but I can't see that folder with Eclipse.

If I would use SSH protocol can I connect directly to the server from Eclipse?

[3177]

yes you can connect to ssh from anywhere.
Please dont use ftp its not secure.

Ok, thanks for the advice.

I can't try now, but I let you know if it works.

Simly install Aptana. Aptana has FTP feature...
