I have been using Netbeans for several months now and I like it. I am trying to include a way to create a project that 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 fine, except for the fact that (a) there are several gigabytes of files on the server on it and (b) there are two of us who will make changes on the server.
In the past, I worked with IDEs that only open an FTP or SFTP connection, and upload the file you want to edit, and then upload that file back to the server when it is saved. Preferably, this is what I would like to do Netbeans.
I tried to add an FTP folder on Windows, but Netbeans will not open it. I tried using Swish and setting up the SFTP folder, and Netbeans will not find the Swish folder at all.
On the side of the note, I understand what I'm doing is a terrible practice, but it's a small site, and I'm usually the only one working on it. I have not worked on a website in the last few weeks and just thought it would be easier to access directly than reloading the entire server onto code / images / video / etc. Any help would be appreciated.
