Eclipse, Remote (SFTP) Editing and Backup Files

Question

Which Solution is the best, to work with remote files via SFTP in Eclipse and to get backupfiles (remote) on every save?

I've installed RSE, but I think it won't create backup files.

Thank you :-)

Answer 1

If you think of backup files as files like the one created by editors like vi (filename~ or so), then the simple answer is that Eclipse does not create these backup files (neither locally, nor remote)

If you think about the "local history" that eclipse keeps, that is stored in your workspace (in the .metadata) directory and thus always local. I don't know if one can use ECF to have a whole workspace remote, but I doubt it.
