Source control for ftp project in eclipse - eclipse

I have a remote project that is access over FTP. I have installed Remote System Explorer - plugin for eclipse and using that plugin, I was able to make a project in my eclipse.
When I make some changes I must login to my server and than using svn from command line to commit changes (and other stuff).
Is there any way (plugin for eclipse or something else) to make source control little more user friendly, so source control can be used from eclipse?
Thanks

Eclipse: missing menu option to create new Remote C/C++ Project

I am running Eclipse CDT Luna SR 1 (version 4.4.1) and have properly installed Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime and Remote system Explorer User Actions packages (both version 3.7.0). I can browse to a remote system and even create a link to a remote folder through RSE using SSH, but I cannot create a new Remote C++ Project as the Luna documentation describes here. The menu options in the manual simply do not exist. Is it necessary to install the RSE server somewhere first? That wouldn't make a lot of sense, since RSE can use local providers. Any help appreciated.

eclipse plugins for remote system

what is the plugin i would able to get from eclipse for "remote server system." I want to just open files from the remote server and continue my web project from a specific home folder.
I need to also able to have the input for mysql database so the eclipse would able to debug it as well.
Are there such plugins?
I have been looking for this for a long but I dont find any.
Many thanks
You may be looking for the Remote Systems Explorer, which is part of the target management project in Eclipse.

Unable to checkin a project into SVN using SubEclipse

I'm suing Mac 10.7.3, Eclipse Indigo, SubEclipse 1.8, SVN 1.7, and the Java HL interface. I created an SVN repository, and want to check in a project, not previously checked in. When I right click on my project, select "Team", "Share Project", and then follow the prompts. I'm never asked for credentials to access the repository, and then project creation dies with ...
mkdir --parents -m "Initial import." [https://svn.myconewmedia.org/svn/repo/csf/trunk/correlations]
URL access forbidden for unknown reason
svn: Access to '/svn/repo/!svn/act/19defd24-393a-4997-bc9e-3c624425a1d4' forbidden
Although I entered a username and password when I setup the repo, I assumed this information wasn't cached. Does anyone know how I can checkin my project using Eclipse?
Thanks, - Dave
There's a difference between setting up a repository (which uses svnadmin create) and creating a working directory (which you do via Subversion's command line client -- svn co or via Ecilpse's built in Subversion client.
You said you gave it a user and password I entered a username and password when I setup the repo. What do you mean by that?
Can you checkout from the repository using the Subversion command line? If so, the issue is with Eclipse and the Subversion client. I've had issues with Java HL in the past because it requires the Subversion C API. Instead, I use SVNKit which is a pure Java solution, and doesn't require the Subversion C API. This is especially good to know if you're using a Mac because Apple doesn't provide the Subversion API libraries. See ColabNet JavaHL page for more information.
I also recommend you look at CollabNet Desktop Edition. It has everything you need, and has a much better merge client than the standard Eclipse merge client.
Response
I can checkout fine from the command line, so yes, I believe the problem is with Eclipse. I installed SVNKit in Eclipse, but how do I "use" it within Eclipse? When I open the Preferences -> SVN dialog, there is no "SVNKit" checkbox, only a "JavaHL: Commit across multiple projects automatically" checkbox, which is checked.
Okay, I downloaded Eclipse on my Mac, and then installed under Help->Install New Software..., the CollabNet Desktop (http://downloads.open.collab.net/eclipse/update-site/e3.5), Subclipse ( http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x) and SVNKit (http://eclipse.svnkit.com/1.7.x).
I then restarted Eclipse, and went to Eclipse->Preferences.... From there, I chose, Team, and under Team, SVN. Part way down the screen, there's a SVN Interface entry. In the Client field, I selected SVNKit (Pure Java).
I then right clicked and said New->Project and selected SVN. I created a new repository, and was able to check out from that repository.
Are you able to follow these instruction? Is there something different? Do you see the SVN Interface preference? You have to change it from JavaHL to SVNKit.

Select > Upload FTP Solution for Eclipse

in Netbeans, you can select a file on the project explorer and upload it directly to the ftp and it finds where to upload properly (amongst the folders and sub-folders,since the remote project is the copy of local project with the same folder, sub-folders and etc.) which provides quick solution when working on both local and remote.
I am wondering whether the same functionality is also available on Eclipse? I don't need anything complicated. This feature is what I only need. So if you know such plugin and how to use it, please enlighten me.
I am using Eclipse for PHP, my version of Eclipse is PDT
Aptana Studio 3 (standalone or plugin) has FTP download/upload functionality. And much more.
Eclipse has a Build in FTP. Go Windows->Open Perspective ->Other->Remote System Explorer.Create New Connection . Right Click on Explorer->New Connection ->FTP.
Note:(For Eclipse Helios and above)

Installing SVN plugin for Eclipse on Ubuntu

I am a brand new Linux user configuring my first-ever dev sandbox in Ubuntu. I have installed Java and Eclipse and am trying to get either Subversive or Subclipse (I don't have a preference either way) but have a few questions before I start that process.
I just opened Synaptic and downloaded subversion through it.
(1) I'm not really sure how SVN deploys locally. My understanding is that SVN has a client and a server; the server manages the repository(ies) and the clieent just sends commands to the server. Is this correct? If so, then what did I download through Synaptic? The client, and/or the server?
(2) Do these Eclipse plugins come with SVN (client or server...?) or do you have to pre-install SVN prior to installing these plugins? Basically: is SVN a pre-req for Subclipse or Subversive?
Looking back at these 2 questions if someone could first explain to me the architecture of SVN, then explain how that architecture translates to downloading SVN via Synaptic, and then how it translates to downloading/installing either Eclipse plugin, I would see the "big picture" a lot better.
Thanks for any and all help!
I use subclipse with svnkit. Both can be installed from update site of subclipse. Works fine. No other sotware needed. You need to set svnkit instead of javahl. This can be done in preferences.
Installation Help/install new software.
Update sites depending on the version:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x
Setting window/preferences. (pick svkit at bottom):
You downloaded the SVN server. You can have multiple SVN clients connecting to it.
The Eclipse plugins do not come with SVN. You need to download them.
Once you install the plugin, you can connect to SVN repositories. If you want to connect to your own SVN repository, of course you need to install SVN and create it first.
However, with just the plugin installed, you can connect to any existing public repositories, or any other SVN repository to which you have access.
Example: If you install the plugin, without installing SVN, you can connect to this Apache Repository.
Hope that answers your questions.
1º question: You are correct. About Synaptic, I think it's the server one.
2º question: No, it isn't! Eclipse's plugin it's the client and you don't need to install the SVN outside the IDE. It's all embedded.
More info that could be useful:
How to configure SVN in Eclipse using Assembla repository:
Create or open your existing project in Eclipse.
Be sure that the SVN's plugin it's correctly installed into Eclipse.
Copy your project's url at the Assembla's web site.
Click with the right button over the project > Team > Share Project > SVN
At the showed window, copy the path to your project into the URL field. Remember of /trunk at the end of URL.
Inform your user (watch out, it's your user, not your e-mail) and password into the required fields and check the option: Save Authentication, otherwise your login and password will be required all the time.
Click over Finish.
The commit's screen will open for you add some comment and upload the files of your project. Remember that even being a new project, Eclipse will create all the default folder's structure for the project.
Click at Ok and it's done! Your code will be uploaded to the Assembla's online server.
Now open the Assemblas's web site, access the trunk folder into your repository and then explore your project's source code. Try the comments and see the automatic format applied over the code so it become more readable.
Here it's some advantages of Assembla service:
Unlimited useres working in the same project.
Easiness of use, create, import projects and use all the service, besides of huge documentation and support.
1 GB of space.
Online access to the source code, with the possibility of comment it.
Encrypt data traffic.
Integration with many tools of the site, which are excellent, but payed separately.
Possibility of, at any moment, hire any of the payed services, which offers an incredible amount of benefits for a fair price. (Look at the services list).
If so, then what did I download through Synaptic? The client, and/or the server?
From the Subversion package description in Ubuntu 10.10:
This package includes the Subversion client (svn), tools to create a Subversion repository (svnadmin) and to make a repository available over a network (svnserve).
So you have both the client software, and the software to create and serve your own repositories.
(2) Do these Eclipse plugins come with SVN (client or server...?)
No, you need to install subclipse.
do you have to pre-install SVN prior to installing these plugins?
As long as you install it via a package, you don't have to worry about this. The package management in ubuntu will make sure that any dependencies are installed automatically. AFAIK all package management systems of gnu\linux distributions of note have this feature.
The easiest way:
Help --> Eclipse MarketPlace, search subclipse, click install, and then follow the instructions to finish up the installation process.
One way to clear up your confusion could be to first use a free hosted Subversion repository, such as http://assembla.com.
Then you can download all of the SVN clients, including the Subclipse plugin, and commit a test project to the SVN repository on Assembla.
I recommend Subclipse as it's allegedly supposed to play nicer with other Subversion clients, which means you'll be able to use command line SVN as well as the Team context menu in Eclipse.
http://subclipse.tigris.org/
After playing with this configuration and being sure your client side is correctly configured, then you could look into installing a subversion server locally. Eliminating variables by clearly separating client and server will definitely help you avoid confusion at first.
