FTP in NetBeans 6.1

Question

Is there an FTP browser hiding away in NetBeans 6.1? The help manual doesn't even suggest FTP exists.

All I've been able to find so far is a tree viewer in the Services panel (no edit controls) and the ability to upload projects, folders and specific files from the Projects/Files views. Is there anywhere to delete or rename or will I have to keep switching back to my browser?

I can see from the previews that there's a nice FTP controller in 6.5 but I'm not desperate enough to completely convert to a beta (yet).

Answer 1

Have you taken a look at remotefs?

Answer 2

It looks like something was recently added to netbeans for php...

don't know if you can make use of that...

Answer 3

@Nate Smith: Thanks, I'll try that out.

@danb: Those are the 6.5 modules which are still in beta, however I may download the beta for the PHP functionality.

Answer 4

The remotefs addin works for 6.5: remotefs
