everyone. I've been struggling with this for a long time now. So I started an Android application using the Android Development Tools (ADT) on my computer and now I want to move this project into a repository on my Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 server, so I can work on it with a friend without constantly overwriting one another. I zipped the project on my computer, extracted and imported it on the server (using Eclipse on both ends) and created a git repository on the server by right clicking and going to Team -> Share Project
Now when I try to clone it from my (Windows) computer, I can't seem to connect properly no matter what protocol I use, be it git, SSH, FTP or HTTP. I want to try HTTP since it's the easiest (or am I totally wrong?)
The server has a static IP address, namely 192.168.1.42 (it also has a WAN address which I'll give my friend once this gets sorted out), and the project, along with the .git folder inside it, are under var/www/git/Eclipse Workspace/Musica
I can browse to that folder on Chrome from my computer, and to the hidden .git folder as well, but whenever I try to connect on Eclipse it says:
[address]/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack not found
And I can't seem to get around that. I've also tried using SSH, but the first time I connect it asks me to add a key, then fails loading the files, and every attempt thereafter fails to connect in the first place. FTP isn't cooperating either, nor is git nor file.
I'm out of ideas. I would really appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

I recently opted to start using Visual Studio Code. I want to connect to a remote server and edit files directly on the server. FTP-Simple seems like a great solution. But I am having a hard time understanding some basics about the program.
If I make a connection to a server, does FTP-Simple download all the actual files to my hard drive?
Also, I was able to make a connection, but in one of the directories there should be a sub-directory and it's missing. What am I doing wrong?
Can someone point me to some good documentation for this extension such as video(s), etc.

actual files to my hard drive?
Yes, It download all to your hard drive. you can find an address like below:
C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\ftp-simple\remote-workspace-temp\cbc1ad9ed60f12ec861052806d7833db\httpdocs
for opening a directory in VSCode you can press F1 type ftp-config then click ftp-config:Open
and click on target directory you want to open for more information use this
2 years later and I'm having the same problem. I have already uninstalled ftp simple as well as VSC with no effect.
The plugin just doesn't download all the files on the FTP. It worked the first time I installed it for 2-3 weeks and then suddenly stopped being in sync with the FTP server.
There is a folder called "code" on mac in Library/Application Support where most of VSC data is saved, but deleting this didn't have an effect either. Perhaps it works for someone else, as this is apparently necessary to fully deinstall VSC.
I'd pay for good plugin that just allows to work remotely on ftp files!!
I have a remote project in eclipse. Usually it works fine but sometimes, my explorer, says a file does not exist when I open it. The files does exist in my remote system explorer and in my local explorer file list, it just cant open.
Even if I refresh the project. Any suggestions.
Possible suggestions
You might be having your workspace in virtual machine, which keeps refreshing at regular intervals. Recommending to save your workspace in myDrive or myDesktop (yours) where it would be safe.
You eclipse might have synced up with version control( like svn/cvs) at remote. Always disconnect from your version control while you have with development work for the day. And i recommend you to make a local copy of remote repository in your desktop.
I have been using Netbeans for several months now and like it a lot. I am trying to enable a way to create a project which accesses live files on my server to make changes. When I create a project using a remote source, it starts downloading all the server files to my computer. This would be just fine, except for the fact that (a) the server has a few gigs of files on it and (b) there are two of us that will be making changes on the server.
In the past, I have worked with IDEs that just open an FTP or SFTP connection and will download the file you want to edit, and then upload that file back to the server when you save it. Preferably, this is what I would like Netbeans to do.
I have tried adding a FTP folder in Windows, but Netbeans won't open it. I have tried using Swish and setting up an SFTP folder, and Netbeans won't find the Swish folder altogether.
On a side note, I understand what I am doing is horrible practice, but it is a small site and I am usually the only one working on it. I haven't worked on the website in the past several weeks and just thought it would be easier to get access directly than re-downloading the entire server's worth of code/images/videos/etc. Any help would be appreciated.
NetBeans does not support what you want to do. However, if you put your site under Subversion/Git (revision control), you could check out the content, modify it locally and push modification back remotely.
This would also help avoiding code clashes when your friends work on your website too.
Actually Netbeans supports this for php projects.
Just choose :
PHP Application from remote server
(but git is the best solution anw as it gives you version control as well but the above is useful if you want your server files to be updated when you just press ctr+s)
I have a PHP project in NetBeans with remote files (over sftp). When I create, modify anything these changes happening both locally and on my web server. However when I'm trying to delete a file or a folder it gets erased only locally. What could be the problem?
Permissions seems to be ok, all files belong to the user I'm using to access the server.
I'm using Netbeans 6.9.1, default configuration, all updates installed.
Netbeans does not have a synchronization function. It is limited to downloading and uploading files. What you can do is to use some external tool, for example WinSCP is capable of synchronizing local and remote directories.
I read what you wrote... but I think it could be a permissions problem.
I also use NetBeans and when I delete a file from the project window it first erase it locally and then syncs with my server.
I login through sftp (using vsftp) as root, which is a bad thing, but you could try this too to be sure if it's a permission issue.
You mistakenly turned off the settings. Please follow these steps:
Right click on the project name
Select properties
From the list of the left select 'Run configuration'
On the left almost down, look for the setting 'Upload files:'
Make sure you set that to 'On Save'
All the best man
Got the following:
Zend Studio
Zend Framework Project
Remote host with FTP and SSH (root access)
Want to:
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'.

Currently i'm using remote server support for synchronize my project directly with my i5 server.
It works using ftp or sfpt if you have enabled SSH on your server machine.
It works very well.
Before using remote server support you have to set up a connection
to the server: go to window menu > open perspective > other >
remote system explorer
set up a connection to your server
Return to php develop perspective
To add the "support to remote server" to an existing project, click on the project with rigth click > properties > Remote Server Support
Flag enable Remote connection properties
Set-up all properties and select upload files "on save"
In this way, ZS work locally on the file's project (index, build files ecc) and upload on the server only the .php and .js files.
It can works very well with svn suppor too, because it DOESEN'T upload (.svn) files to the server but keeps it local.
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.
You can use 3rd party utilities:
Expandrive for OSX
Netdrive (commercial) or FTPDrive (free)
to mount FTP/SFTP to drive or folder so you can work as it is locally.
