PDT Eclipse to auto upload on save


I am migrating from a Dreamweaver forced working environment to a free-of-choice one. That said I must say I was rather enthusiastic about being able to use Dreamweaver PDT. However I have come to rely very heavily on the use of the "auto upload on save" function.

I am developing LAMP but oriented to a Windows base majority so I really must run Windows native and test heavy for IE, all projects work smooth on FF and Safari, IE's really the bottleneck. On the other hand I like to have my project served by a clone of the server so I have a Virtual machine on windows running Linux that works as my Dev Server.

As you can tell the auto-update on save works like a charm.

I've dug up some of the documentation and I've also Google quite a bit and found nothing (besides Aptana) to suit my needs. I am looking in the wrong direction or isn't there really something like this for Eclipse?

Thank you in advance!

  • You can either create the ftp connection through windows explorer or mount the ftp location as a drive and then just access it through eclipse as you normally would. That's what I've done in the past work well enough.
