I do a lot of work with files hosted on an FTP server. Currently to edit a file on the server I have to open the server in Cyberduck, navigate with the mouse to the folder I want and then click "Edit," which opens a temporary file. Anyway, editing files on the server would be way easier if I could use the terminal to navigate through the file directory and edit files. Is there a way to create a symbolic link in my home directory to an FTP server?
edit: I'm on a Mac
If your using linux you can mount an ftp site with curlftpfs. Check out this tutorial: Ubuntu Geeks Curlftpfs
If you are on windows you can use NetDrive:
NetDrive.Net
With either of these you can create links/shortcuts to your hearts content.

Presently I'm using phpDesigner 8. I like, it can create a "real remote" FTP project, phpDesigner not downloading all project files to local, it shows me the remote tree, and I download only the file, that I'd like to edit. When I save, the file automatically uploaded with FTP.
I'd like to do this with PhpStorm. I tried "New Project from Existing Files", then "Web server is on remote host, files are accessible via FTP/SFTP/FTPS". I turn on Tools/Deployment/Automatic Upload (always), and PhpStorm immediately uploads the saved files via FTP. This good. But I don't need a local copy any of the remote files. I need to download the remote files only to editor, not to locally, and saves to remote.
Is there any way to do this?

Well ... you cannot create 100% Remote FTP project -- because you still have to create actual project ... which has to be local. It can be completely empty (no actual project files) but it will still contain config files in .idea subfolder (e.g. your FTP details).
But yes -- once such empty project created -- just go to Settings/Preferences and configure Deployment.
Once it's properly set up -- go browse Remote Host and choose to edit file remotely -- IDE will download that file in temp location and upload it back as needed -- https://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2015/04/remote-edit-in-phpstorm-9-eap/.
NOTE: missing stuff when editing remotely -- https://stackoverflow.com/a/36850634/783119
I am working on Big data and want to fetch data/files from a file system present in remote machine not from any databases i.e to copy files from remote linux / windows machine to hdfs. Please help me.
You can copy file from your local file to a remote file system and vice versa by using
scp commands
scp [Options] [[User#]From_Host:]Source_File [[User#]To_Host:][Destination_File]
Try to install Hue. It's a very useful tool for this.
Follow this link for more details : http://gethue.com/
Enter into the File Browser in Hue, and click on "Add files" button then you can upload your files into HDFS
I am developing a rather basic CMS locally and can not ftp due to permissions problems. I have FileZilla FTP server running in XAMPP and can connect without problems but receive error "550 Permission Denied" when my code tries to upload via ftp.
I tried changing permissions via my FileZilla FTP client but without success (presumably because it is windows- error: "504 Command not implemented for that parameter"). I also tried going to the target folder's properties --> security --> permissions and checking "full" for the user XAMPP is running under.
So how do I setup the permissions to allow my CMS to use ftp in XAMPP?
Finally figured it out. For anyone else who has this problem, there is no need to set permissions in Windows. Instead, on the FileZilla FTP server admin interface select edit --> users --> shared folders and check 'write'.
For a fix of this make sure that the root folder is allowed to write and pass rights permission. had this same issue for a script to run on local web xampp server windows xp.. just change the root file attributes to 755 then try it if that don't work try 777. should work now... hope this works for you... as it did me.
If that does not work go to your htdocs folder in your xampp directory then right click it and check properties .. if read only is ticked .. untick it and apply to all sub folders and files
You're behind firewall? Try to allow FileZilla server program in Firewall.
I made an ruby web application on nitrous.io, the tool is very nice and it helped a lot but now I want to download ther project in my computer and I didn't found any option to do that...
You can download and upload projects by any of the following options:
Utilize Nitrous Desktop to Sync your files locally.
Upload your project to Github, and pull the project from there. Here is a guide on adding the SSH key to Github if needed.
Upload the content via SCP. To do this, you will need to add an SSH Key to your account.
Next, run this command on your local machine, replacing {PORT} with the port # assigned to your Nitrous.IO box, and also changing usw1 with the proper region found in the SSH URI of your boxes page.
To Upload:
scp -P{PORT} -r path/to/yourFolder action#usw1-2.nitrousbox.com:~/workspace
To Download:
scp -P{PORT} -r action#usw1-2.nitrousbox.com:~/workspace path/to/yourLocalFolder
I do not know the service, but apparently they offer ssh access. Then you can use scp to copy the files to your machine. Anyway, probably you should ask their support...
...post a summary of their answer here and close the question :)
The easiest way is to store your project in a Git repository and then push this repository to an external host. You will then be able to clone your project from the external repository to any machine you want.
Personally, I use Bitbucket (Bitbucket as it is free and very easy to set up. Have a look at the tutorials there.
ok replying really late but I hope this will help anyone still looking for this. Here is how I download stuff from nitrous, no desktop utility download needed, and no ssh/scp or adding keys.
What you do is, simply make a archive for the folder you want to download by
tar -zcvf myarchive.tar.gz mydir/
now you got a *.gz file right? Whichever folder your gz file is in, be there and type:
python3.3 -m http.server 8080
you just started a cute little http server ready to serve you your download, now from the Preview menu click "Port 8080", this opens a new browser tab showing your gz file in the file listing (sample url http://yourboxes.apse1.nitrousbox.com:8080/). Now you can click your gz file and it will start downloading. Once done with the download, press Ctrl+C on the terminal to terminate the http server.
This is not limited to nitrous, you can make this work on many online VMs like cloud9 etc.
Our website is hosted using CPanel. When we connect over sftp via FileZilla, for some reason, we're unable to access public_html. It works with FileZilla on the mac but on the PC, if we type in the same directory, it automatically adds a backslash, so it becomes public_html\, which doesn't work for displaying the site.
What would you suggest to connect to public_html without the backslash?
you have to type in ../ under remote site and press enter.
it'll take you to the root. You should be able to enter any path.
