I have put up another update of CFEclipse (version 1.3.1.2 if you are into numbers) that fixes a problem that users of the File Explorer were having with connecting to SFTP sites. The problem was that the plugin was checking if you had already accepted the host's certificate (I think that is what its called), if you hadn't it would prompt you (well it doesn't it does it in the background and you say no) so the connection would fail.
I have now set it to auto-accept, which as some people know, is what Dreamweaver does.
Another thing I have added are some new icon's for CFM and CFC files. In the background, there are actually now Editors, one for CFC's and one for CFM's but the CFC editor just extends the CFM editor so its essentially the same for the moment, until I start adding CFC specific parsing. This is something that should have been done long ago.
If you experience some problems do let me know.
There is nothing special in the CFCEditor but this will have more functions soon, I could revert it.
Actually, apologies, this slipped out of my dev machine this morning as I was hankering for a fix for the SFTP stuff
I shall revert/fix etc stuff soon

YOU ROCK!!!
Now, to see about some other crazy stuff to implement ;)
Was thinking of setting a FTP root per project so you can do "get file" and "put file" the only problem is that is a can of worms that opens up file comparers and what have you!
BAH!
Look just there on the Right ------>>>>>>>>^^^^^^^ Up a bit.
?10/$20/?15 Isn't much to ask is it :-) (They should work out roughly the same)
Keep it up Mark!
I am running Eclipse SDK 3.2 with CFEclipse (latest stable build - 1.3.1.3) and am still experiencing issues when connecting to an SFTP server.
I read that a previous build release 1.3.1.2 was meant to have solved the issue of certificate acceptance (auto-accept), and this is what I immediately presumed to be the problem, so I visited the SFTP server via the terminal so that an entry could be propogated into the "known_hosts" home folder (remember I am on Linux here) and then relaunched the workbench and attempted to reconnect.
However the issue appears to persist? What might I be doing wrong?
The error message I am receiving is:
Could not connect to SFTP server at "sftp://**********:**********@127.0.0.1".
Obviously the login credentials are correct when attempting to login but the same old error message comes back.
The vanilla flavour FTP setup works just fine, but it would obviously be nice to connect via SFTP for added security.
Please let me know if you'll additional information to address this bug.
Many thanks Mark.
PS. I posted before on the CFEclipse Wiki about CFEclipse not functioning correctly when installed on the Eclipse 3.2 Platform Binary release.
It does however work correctly on the SDK, so I guess there are some discrepancies between the two.
Anyway, thanks for addressing the entry. I know that you must be really busy.
