Remote project in aptana - ftp

After last update I can't find any way to manage remote project via ftp or sftp.
Aptana has lost this feature or I can not find it?
Does anyone know other ide with the same functionalities?
I tried netbeans but it downloads the entire project locally. I prefer the aptana way to provide just the list of all files without download them. Does Exist a way to make work netbeans as aptana for remote projects?

From my initial walk through, it seems Aptana removed the connections node in the project tree. If you select Window -> Show View -> Remote from the menu, you'll recieve a new remote tab with all your connections.
Additionally, if you have local files you previously promoted using 'Publish', you can still do this in the same way. After selecting the 'Publish' menu item, Aptana will ask for the remote connection from all your remotes to upload too.
Hope this helps!

How do I download last working project from TFS server and replace my local, which does not work?

Apparently I have some problems with my local work-space and I not able to deploy anything to TFS server successfully.
Is it possible to download last working solution and replace my local?
If so, how?
Thank you for you help in advance.
In the source control explorer, right click on the folder you want to replace, navigate to "Advanced", and choose "Get Specific Version".
(Assuming you use TFVC and not git...)
yes, of course, you can. do you know the type of your workspace (local\server)?
in any way you can get specific version from the context menu, then choose the latest version: enter image description here
if you want, you can delete ALL local content before, make to select the checkboxes to overwirte the local and ignore the disk
If your workspace is large, you can use scorch command instead:
tf vc scorch
this command checks the disk with the server and removes untracked files

Remove TFS Bindings without a hack

I have a 2013 Visual Studio Web Project which was in source control. It has been detached for some time and now I want to move it to a completely new TFS server but when I do it errors and complains expecting certain folders to exist. I think this is due to the TFS bindings.
Now I have seen lots of posts about how to edit the solution file to remove the bindings, plus a few other steps but I'm wondering if there is a menu item which you can click to remove the bindings so I can point at a different TFS server? I am hoping I don't need to edit solution file.
I am not simply being lazy - but I want a defacto way of doing this correctly in one go, not hack here and hack there. Hacking a solution file from someone's advice is not the same as clicking a 'Microsoft' menu item.
Quite easy, you just need to follow my steps and you will get it worked.
Open your solution, for now its under source control with your old
TFS server.
Move to File -> Source Control -> Change Source Control , on the
pop-up window click the unbind, you can unbind all of the
solution or a specific project. Will get a below screenshot.
You can check the solution in solution explorer, there is no lock
icon which means not in source control any more.
However, this isn't over. Since your solution file is still in the
workspace which associate with the old TFS server. So if you want to
add the solution to new source control right now, you will get an
error:
" The item 'ConsoleApplication1.sln' is already under source control
at the selected location xxx"....
You have to copy this solution to a different place out of your
workspace. And change the connection of TFS to the new TFS
server(which you want to add source control with).
Finally, open the solution from local folder(new copied). Right
click the solution in solution explorer select "Add solution to
source control" and choose the location you want add to.

Upload from Cloud9 (c9) IDE to FTP server

I'm trying to find a simple way to upload a project, or even just a single file, from the Cloud9 (c9.io) IDE to an existing live FTP server. I see that I can now connect (via a Beta feature) to an FTP or SFTP server from c9, but I can't seem to upload edited files from the IDE via FTP.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I was hoping to deploy directly from c9.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you're able to offer!
From documentation:
Cloud9 IDE allows you to easily add files to your curent workspace at any time. You can drag and drop files from your computer directly into the Project Files pane, and the IDE will add them to your project. Google Chrome users can also drag entire folders into the IDE.

Files not uploading via Aptana 3

I'm new to Aptana 3. I recently switched from using an FTP (Filezilla) and text editor just to speed the file editing process up a bit.
I'm dealing mainly with Wordpress sites on a shared Godaddy hosting account, and am having some trouble uploading the files I have edited via Aptana to my live site.
i.e. I've edited several lines in my "main.css" file. I save it in my "Project Explorer" window in Aptana, have my FTP connection all set up and working, and click the "Upload" icon. I refresh my browser and nothing has changed, and I can see the website is still pulling in the old css. I've also tried "synchronizing" my files and hitting the "Publish" button, but that doesn't work either?
I've also tried just editing the file in a new Remote Connection tab, but no joy either.
I've hunted all over for simple walkthrough for deployment or file sync guides for Aptana, and watched a few video tutorials but nothing has worked so far.
Hold Control+F5 for a few seconds in your browser. You probably are just running a cached version of the CSS in your browser. That should prune it.
I had the same problem. What I found I had to do was an initial synchronization, I know you mention that you did this but it may be that it didn't fully sync as its not always clear what is going on with the Aptana sync.
What I did:
Make sure your Project has a connection in it and that it points to the server location that you want to sync with
Select the Remote tab and right-click on a file within the chosen connection, choose File Transfer...
This will open the sync window and it will initiate a compare, this is where confusion set in for me, if the folder structure is not identical it will propose to create and delete lots of files. I found I was deselecting items to be safe but meant that it did not correctly sync. Make sure you are syncing from the same root level and then let it do a full sync, this seems to register or record a link between the local and remote files.
Run the sync. when it is complete you will now be able to upload individual files successfully from the Project tab using the upload icon (before a successful sync this will not work - even though it looks like it is doing an upload).
Hope this helps.

Visual Studio loses bindings to TFS suddenly

Why would my VS solution lose its TFS bindings suddenly? I have been working on a project for six months and this never happened. As soon as I opened a VS project/solution, I could check in/out, view history by right clicking on any given file. But suddenly, I dont see those options to checkin checkout etc any more when I right click on a file in VS studio solution explorer.
The team explorer window still brings up the source folder structure and I can get latest or get specific from there but did any one see this kind of behavior? Please let me know what I can do to avoid these situations in future.
Did you lose connection to the TFS server any time recently? I've had this happen in the past on unreliable network connections when working via TFS remotely. The solution and all projects therein would "go offline" and would appear to lose their bindings. This made it particularly unintuitive when the connection was re-established because changes made while "offline" weren't always found.
If you right-click on the solution or the projects, is there an option to "go online"? You might check the various menus for such an option as well.
Did you move the source files to a different location on your harddrive, or change your workspace mappings?
Try opening the solution/project by double-clicking the .sln file in Source Control Explorer instead of opening it from windows explorer.
You can also try bringing up the Bindings dialog by going File -> Source Control -> Change Source Control
I recently had a very similar experience. I had made several changes which I thought may have influenced my connection resilience. After reversing out of 2 of them and the problem persisted, I finally clocked what it was.
One of the new extensions I am using is NuGet (http://nuget.codeplex.com/). Every time I attempt to add a library my TFS connection fails and is unrecoverable till a restart of VS 2010.
See: http://nuget.codeplex.com/workitem/725
There is a work around that has been reported and working which may help you even if this is not your problem.

Happened to me also. I was removing a whole bunch of mappings for old releases under the local workspace. It was taking over 40 minutes so I killed it. The mapping has been removed to the older branches but the branch left behind had been disconnected from TFS.
