SFTP Plug-in for Eclipse

SFTP Plug-in for Eclipse will add the SFTP support to Eclipse.
In the current implementation, an SFTP client and an SFTP Team provider have been provided.
SFTP Team provider allows you to synchronize files and directories between the workspace and a remote location as WebDAV and FTP support for Eclipse does, but by using the ssh2 sftp protocol.

Features

The current version has the following features.

• SFTP client (plug-in: com.jcraft.eclipse.sftp).
• The SFTP client is using Eclipse's internal SSH client, JSch.
• SFTP Team provider (plug-in: com.jcraft.eclipse.team.sftp,com.jcraft.eclipse.target.sftp).
  • importing a remote directory into the workspace as a project by sftp.
  • exporting a folder to a remote directory by sftp.
  • synchronizing with the remote directory by sftp.
• password, public-key and keyboard-interactive authentication methods.
• HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies.
• key pair generation.
• host-key management.
• The code is based on WebDAV and FTP support for Eclipse.
• Plug-ins will work on Eclipse Platform 3.3 and later.
• Plug-ins are licensed under the terms and conditions of EPL 1.0.

Tips

• The location 'sftp://192.168.0.1/tmp' will allow you to get accesses to 'tmp' directory under user's home directory. On the other hand, 'sftp://192.168.0.1//tmp' will point to '/tmp' directory on the remote.
