Project view
Submitted by rahul_yanina on Thursday, 29 July, 2010 - 10:37
Is it possible to have projects (the actual project file could be on the local machine) where the files added to it are on remote files? Right now, with the FTP plugin, it allows me to add files from remote locations to a project, but does not save the information. So when I restart Jedit, the remote files no longer show up against the project. However, the files on the local machine added to the project shows up after the restart.

Ami I doing something wrong, or is this a limitation currently? Are there any plans for having this feature, as I think it is quite a useful one to have.

Work Around

Rahul, I don't use the Project / FTP plugins so I'm not sure what's involved in getting the functionality you require working. However, I would suggest a possible work-around using remote file system mounting software.

You could use something like NetDrive on Windows, or FUSE on Linux / MacOS X. I don't use NetDrive or similar myself, but I do use FUSE and it's excellent.

You'll just then need to mount the FTP servers you want as file systems, then include them in your project as normal from your mounts rather than using the FTP plugin and you should be all good.
