Many people have been asking for a working, simple, obvious UI, FTP upload/download for YEARS! Why is there no active work on this?
Upload/download to/from web sites or backup sites or remote development sites...you know, really obvious simple stuff!!

mahdoui, I think he meant something more like a remote development plug in.
As an example, I am looking very hard for something that will allow my project files to exist on a unix server while I work on them from my PC.
The basic requirements of something like this would be to have a repository defined where read only files exist. These files would be seen by Eclipse as existing just as they do on a local system for the purposes of being included in a project. The model would be similar to versioning with CVS or SVN.
Why would anybody want this? An example would be a system where small projects exist within the framework of a large system. You don't necessarily want to have every developer maintaining a huge code set on their machines just so that they can work on their small part. Yes; JAR files can help, but then you have the maintenance of those JAR files -- and you can't debug into them without the source code anyway.
The answer is the setup described above where you can access the files via ftp under the covers. This can, obviously, be optimized such that the plug-in only checks for a newer version of the file when it is necessary instead of using ftp in the same way you would a file share. The point is that making a unix directory avialable via samba (or the like) is something that many sys admins cringe at.
Anyway, does anybody have any suggestions on this?
Cheers,
Scott |

I too have been looking for a plugin that would allow me to run Eclipse from my PC and create projects containing folders that link to existing source folders via ftp/sftp on a remote server. I've found nothing.
If you know of a way to achieve this please let me know.
Thanks
Eric. |

The DSDP TM project at Eclipse has a nice set of tools called Remote System Explorer that allow for SSH / FTP file navigation. I use them frequently. Might be worth a look.
