I very much enjoyed using the SFTP file browser plugin along with the sshConsole plugin in an older version of jEdit on Windows XP. When I installed the newest version and tried to use these two plugins, the remote file browser worked but the sshconsole did not. When I clicked on a file in a remote folder (the sshconsole is supposed to move to the directory the file is in) it gave me an error like the following:

[no sftp:// connections?] >Last login: Sat Sep 22 16:24:03 2012 from 75.85.183.132
Error while running process: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid connection port: ' Sat Sep 22 16'

I since got a new computer running Windows 7, and encounter the same problem (that's where the above error output comes from, to be precise). I tried it on Linux (Ubuntu), however, and the sshconsole worked fine. But I do enough work on Windows that I am anxious to fix it.

I couldn't find any option within jEdit to change connection ports, and if I did, I wouldn't know what to do with it. And I've searched online and haven't found any references to the problem in forums. Has anyone else encountered it? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for your time.

How can i create/modify file in the background? I have this:

private final String filePath = "c:/dummy.txt";

void updateFile()
{
jEdit.newFile(view);
Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
textArea.setText(Calendar.getInstance().getTime().toString());
Buffer scratchBuffer = view.getBuffer();
scratchBuffer.save(view, filePath);
jEdit.closeBuffer(view, scratchBuffer);
}
updateFile();

It creates/modifies file dummy.txt, writes to it current date. It is opening new buffer so it is visible for a brief time, until the macro closes it.
Can I make this in the background?
