[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: Publishing in new PDT?

[Shawn Clark <shawn_d_clark@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been trying to find the right information for the last week. 
Everyone points to the fabled "RSE" but in all my readings I haven't 
found any documentation on how exactly to set this up. For the most part 
the TM / RSE pages only talk about the technology and what it enables 
for developers.

The FAQ for RSE always is in regards to the developer except in the 
section about "Working with TM / RSE as a User" but even then the 
information is vague and not really that helpful.

I know this isn't specific to PDT but as myself and a few others are PHP 
developers that are looking for a solution there needs to be something 
to help us get started.

I am guessing my scenario is similar to others whereby we are developing 
a application on our local machine and then want to get the files to a 
web server (i.e. publish to the web server). It is great that RSE allows 
us to have FTP and SSH connections to the server and we can see things 
within the server. Now how is it possible to setup a build task so that 
the task copies files from the local workspace / project to the defined 
RSE connection????

I know this is probably something easy for people that are using RSE on 
a day-to-day basis but so far I haven't been able to find the spot that 
allows this.

Thanks for any information that can assist with this.
