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

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

As none of the other solutions mentioned satisfied me  I wrote a script that uses WinSCP to sync local directories in a project to a FTP S  SFTP SCP Server when eclipse s autobuild feature is triggered  Obviously  this is a Windows-only solution   Maybe someone finds this useful  http   rays-blog de 2012 05 05 94 use-winscp-to-upload-files-using-eclipses-autobuild-feature

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
