Zend Studio and remote host - best practice

Got the following:

  1. Zend Studio
  2. Zend Framework Project
  3. Remote host with FTP and SSH (root access)

Want to:

  1. Save directly to remote host.

Currently i'm working on a localhost *AMP server, manually updating the remote through FTP.

Have tried various ways to acomplish the above - unsuccessfull obviously.

Can some one tell me what to do? Studio 5 (pre-eclipse) was so much better for pure 'FTP programming'.

Solution

  • Whatever you do, don't use Expandrive. That's what I'm working with now, and it grinds ZSE to a crashing halt. Sometimes, Expandrive just stops working and ZSE thinks the file disappeared, so you have to close everything and anything not saved is lost.

    EDIT: One solution that's worked for us is using the SMB protocol, using Windows' SMB compatibility to create a remote drive, and then interacting with your code base that way. Make sure to ignore building large static files or large files you won't be directly editing to further speed up Eclipse when building a project this way.
