Working with Files on Remote Servers

Working with Files on Remote Servers
Working with directories and files on remote servers is virtually identical to working
with them on local or network drives. For example, when you save files, changes are
saved to the remote server. The primary difference is that you must establish a
connection to a remote server before you can work with its files.
You can work on remote servers from the Files tabs and from Windows Explorer via
Explorer shell integration. If you do not need server access, you can clear the Options
> Settings > File Settings > FTP&RDS >Enable Explorer shell integration.

If you set the Drive list to My Computer, you can easily access all of your drives and
SNE node servers on the File resource tab, as shown in the following graphic.

the node is called "Macromedia FTP & RDS." If you install this version on a machine
with a previous version of ColdFusion Studio, the previous version no longer
recognizes the node. To fix this, you must modify the SNE node.
To use the SNE with earlier versions:
1 After completing the installation, run the SNECompatibility.exe program in the
program directory; for example in C:\Program Files\Macromedia\ColdFusion
Studio 5\SNECompatibility.exe.
The Macromedia SNE Compatibility dialog box appears.
