If you’re familiar with the excellent Aptana Studio IDE, you know it’s based on Eclipse. You also know it comes pre-packaged with SFTP capability. I need to work on a remote server, where I have Apache installed; SFTP is ideal for this.
I’ve installed the Subclipse plugin, and I can access and checkout projects from the Repo. I can create a new project from SVN source, which will download all the source to my chosen workspace or a specified location.
But I can’t figure out a way to combine these features! I need to create a Project on a remote server via SFTP but I need to link the source to a repository.
Is there any way to do this?
Answer is that you can’t. The SVN libraries cannot manage a working copy that is not on your local disk. You need to work on your project on local file system. You can then either use some kind of SFTP synch solution with the remote filesystem, or you can commit your files and use a post-commit hook or some other process to update the files on the Apache server.
