Using Eclipse with running site on another server

[vk101]

I have a Windows desktop with my Eclipse-JBoss IDE and a Linux server hosted by somebody else running JBoss. I'd like to use the Eclipse running on my desktop to manipulate the files that are on my Linux JBoss server. Is this possible?

How can I go about doing this? My research on this topic have talked about debugging, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Thanks.

You may want to look into a samba solution.

ie... share your jboss folders in linux and mount them with your windows workstation. Then just point eclipse to them like any other folder on your hard drive.

Just make sure you use proper firewalling precautions.

Thanks for the response.

Is there any simpler way, meaning a way in Eclipse to specify the IP address of the Linux server and login/password of my Linux account, and Eclipse would then use the files from there?

I'd imagine that this is possible, but I haven't been able to figure out just how.

Thanks.
