Working with remote files

[eruisi]

Is there a way to work with a remote workspace (via sftp/ftp)?
Or the workspace is local but it contains remote projects/files?

Now the remote files are treated separately in slickedit and can not be added to a local project/workspace.

as far as I know, it can not as you expected. But there are some work around. when you used ftp/sftp to edit remote files, slickedit always keeps local copy at "My Slickedit Config/13.0.1/ftp". You can add files under this directory into project.

or make a map between remote directory and local directory, all remote files will be in local directory you specified. It can be done in "Advanced" page of ftp/sftp session, called "remote to local directory mapping"

Thanks for the help.
I made a map between remote directory and local one, but don't know how to make synchronization happen.

BTW: what does "open files as ftp..." in ftp session toolbar mean (when you right-click on a file)? I didn't see any effects for selecting this menu item.

In the "Add FTP profile", there is the advanced tab. "remote to local directory mapping" is on right hand.

Sorry, I didn't make it clear.

I MADE a map but didn't see its effects. The two directories I mapped do NOT synchronize.

If I read you correct, you have a local directory where you do your modifications, and then you have an SFTP directory you want the files uploaded to whenever you save..

If so.. I have the same exact setup.. With some help from this forum, I got what I wanted, so maybe it'll help you too..

Thanks, but I am not familiar with python/slick-C
I finally find out how ftp mapping works: when you open an FTP file in Slickedit, a local copy in the mapped local directory will be generated. If you save the FTP file, it will be uploaded automatically.

Good, you figure it out. There is no hope to expect slickedit automatically upload you changes into remote when changes are made to local mapped files. but when you open files remotely, you mapped directory will also keep a local copy. you can add this local copy into your project.

slickedit even can do remote building, so if you needed, please try it too.

This is how it works. If slickedit developers are watching this forums, I think it's decent to add remote files into project as well as local files. The great part of slickedit is to adopt to complicated environment, which normally doing programming on remote side.
