- Logs in okay
- But seems to always be closing directory sub-trees I've opened in 'Remote Systems' panel
- It wants to do an 'ls' on every parent directory in the hierarchy, every time I change files. Very slow.
Using CurlFtpFS:
- Install in Ubuntu from the software centre
- to mount: curlftpfs -v username:password@server.example.com local_dir/
- to unmount: fusermount -u local_dir/
- Performance is unusably slow... Eclipse wants to know about every single file on the remote server, not just the ones I'm editing.
- Saving the file through Eclipse using CurlFtpFS takes even longer than it would to upload it separately.
Using FileZilla and gedit:
- Browsing is fast
- Editing is fast
- But you have to navigate to every file manually each session, it doesn't remember what you had open
- The system of holding temp files locally is not ideal, but FileZilla detects changes in them very nicely
- You still can't grep over the files as they're all held remotely, and it's a bit fiddly to navigate to a specific file
Editing locally with Eclipse, and uploading after changes are made:
- Write an Ant script to upload any modified files?
- ...to investigate
