You might want to look into using rsync, there is an article about it here: http://community.activestate.com/faq/using-rsync-with-projects

I'm used to using NuSphere which allows associating a server / upload path with a project for remote publishing. Being able to either right click on a file and select upload or Ctrl+Shift+S to save remotely is one of the best things I've found in an IDE for working speed.

I normally use a SVN repos for collab and a test server or two, exporting directly from the repository to the live installation and ftp uploading to the test server only, so rsync won't work for us.

Just to let you know that we are looking into adding this feature to Komodo, though I cannot yet give an estimated arrival date.

The remote file API's are there for the impatient, if someone wishes to make an extension to support this, you can take a look at the remote drive tree extension for ideas:

Whould be great to see that implemented!

This seems like a critical feature, at least for those of us who need to deploy our local files via FTP. Opening up a separate FTP client, finding the right file, etc. is extremely cumbersome.

Hi there, I too am a NuSphere user, however, id like to switch to komodo because of it's toolset featuer and native operation on a mac....

the only thing that is stopping me is the fact that I cant ftp it by pressing cntrol-shift-s just like nusphere.

The reason why I am not using svn to do this is because the project is a branch from svn, but I upload to my own server, before committing to the project, thus, a separate ftp is needed, and only svn when committing.

i hope this feature is added soon - komodo looks pretty rockin

I have friends who have refused to purchase Komodo or upgrade because of the lack of a decent remote file management addon/feature.

As one poster mentioned above, if creating the addon is so easy why doesn't AC either:

1. Create their own addon.

2. Hire a Firefox addons developer to create on for a few thousand dollars.

I'm sure the cost you'd pay for hiring someone would easily be made up for by all of the people that try Komodo but don't purchase because of a lack this feature.

I realize that you are not trying to be all things to all people, and that is good...but it really appears from all of the posts on this forum that there is a real and valid need for this.

I just started testing Komodo and honestly up until now I assumed this feature was built in and I just could find it. Has it been resolved yet? I have little interest in using Komodo if I can't publish or sync my files via FTP.
