An Accidental Treasure - Remote System Explorer

My Old Blog is still incomplete ... ANT is on its way slow and steady. In mean while i hit something that i couldnt stop blogging about. So i am here ... !!

Its been sometime that i have been actively working on latest Eclipse Versions. During recent times when i was playing with Galileo accidentally happen to open the list of perspectives thru Perspective Bar. Accidentally I happen to find this new perspective called Remote System
Explorer.

I got a little inqusitive to find out what did this mean. At first i thought its a Desktop Share perspective for Team Collaboration developed as Part of ECF. But later realised it is a Long
Pending Facility that i used to always miss in Eclipse. A way to access files from a Remote Machine. In simple words FTP inside Eclipse.

Thanks to the team, it is now there called as Remote System Explorer. I just got my company Webspace loaded on to it. :)) Try it its cool. It can connect to Unix, Telnet (Experimental), FTP, SSH and Windows.

Happy Eclipsing ... Should be back soon ... !!
