Gonzalo,

Once you have exported you files once,
you should be able to create a Synchronization for it. To do so, open the
TEam perspective and, from the left-most dropdown in the Synchronize view,
chose Synchronize. You can then choose FTP and click next. You should see
an entry for the export you perfomed. Selecting that and clicking finish
will make any new changes you have made appear in the synchronize view.

... and here is the original question from Gonzalo
on the newsgroup:

First of all, I would like to say that I hope this is the right place to
ask 
this question.  I've searched in both the 'target management' and
'webtools' 
newsgroups as well as the web for an answer to this.  As a matter
of
fact, I 
gave the eSFTP plugin a try prior to trying out the FTP plugin but I
wasn't 
satisfied with it.

I have installed the WebDAV and FTP 3.2 plugins onto eclipse 3.2 and got
it 
to work.  My only issue here is that in order to upload(export) the
files 
I've been working on, I have to go through the entire export process
a.. On the main project node in the Navigator view, choose menu:
Export...
a.. Select 'FTP' protocol and press Next.
a.. Choose a new folder to be exported and press Next.
a.. Choose the FTP target site
a.. press on Next

Otherwise, I do not see any way to upload a file.  Is it at all possible
to 
quickly upload a file after the FTP target has been defined as well as
setup 
for the project?

If this is not possible, are there other 3rd party tools that I can use
(perhaps purchase) to do this?  Thank you all very much for your time.



Cheers,
