How do I add FTP support to Eclipse?

Question

I\'m using Eclipse PHP Development Tools. What would be the easiest way to access a file or maybe create a remote project trough FTP and maybe SSH and SFTP?.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this works for you, but when I do small solo PHP projects with Eclipse, the first thing I set up is an Ant script for deploying the project to a remote testing environment. I code away locally, and whenever I want to test it, I just hit the shortcut which updates the remote site.

Eclipse has good Ant support out of the box, and the scripts aren't hard to make.
