How do I add FTP support to Eclipse

Question

I m using Eclipse PHP Development Tools   What would be the easiest way to access a file or maybe create a remote project trough FTP and maybe SSH and SFTP

User · Answer

Install Aptana plugin to your Eclipse installation.

It has built-in FTP support, and it works excellently.

You can:

Edit files directly from the FTP server
Perform file/folder management (copy, delete, move, rename, etc.)
Upload/download files to/from FTP server
Synchronize local files with FTP server. You can make several profiles (actually projects) for this so you won't have to reinput over and over again.

As a matter of fact the FTP support is so good I'm using Aptana (or Eclipse + Aptana) now for all my FTP needs. Plus I get syntax highlighting/whatever coding support there is. Granted, Eclipse is not the speediest app to launch, but it doesn't bug me so much.

I m not sure if this works for you  but when I do small solo PHP projects with Eclipse  the first thing I set up is an Ant script for deploying the project to a remote testing  environment  I code away locally  and whenever I want to test it  I just hit the shortcut which updates the remote site   Eclipse has good Ant support out of the box  and the scripts aren t hard to make
