I am easily able to set up remote access to a sftp host in Dreamweaver. I would like to do the same type of remote access with Netbeans. I tried setting up a new server, but I there is no sftp server to choose from, only GlassFish, Adobe, Java, etc. Maybe I am missing something? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks, Nick

HI,
I need to access my files on a remote site at my business. They are not local on my desktop, they are on a separate server. I can access these files in Dreamweaver by setting up a remote site. I connect to our remote server using SFTP, give the FTP hostname, login username, and password. I can Get files and Put files as needed between my local view and the remote view. I would like to have this type of access using Netbeans. Is this possible?
I am afraid you cannot do it by default. You will have to set up your own FTP functionality. Have a look here: http://forums.java.net/jiv
Yes, I see. I looked at the first link you posted and downloaded the apache.commons.vfs.provide
:
Now I see it. In netbeans 6, open the Options/Miscellaneous tab, then choose the ant panel, then add the commons-net-XXX.jar to the classpath. Then you can use an ant FTP upload task as follows:
<target name="runtime-release-uplo
<tstamp/>
<ftp
server="yourserver"
userid="anonymous"
password="yourpassword"
remotedir="incoming"
verbose="true"
passive="true">
<fileset file="../../yourfilename-$
</ftp>
</target>
What do them mean by using an ant FTP upload task?
There is a plugin rewritten from remotefs
http://plugins.netbeans.or
with support of FTP and SFTP

What do you mean remote access to an SFTP server? Through Java code or through the panel wheer you are trying to deploy to a server? SFTP is not a server for deployment, it's just a server to get/put files from/to.
