Webstorm FTP fail

Posted 03 February 2012 - 08:47 AM

I would like to access server via FTP/SFTP, but when "Test FTP connection..." it say:
"That could not login to FTP server on 'domain.com' as user 'userName'"

With filezila everything is ok, connection and stuff, but i wish to work with webstorm.

Here are details transcribed from Filezila (successful) conetion:
ftp.domain.com
there is no port entered
it is ftp protocol
encryption: require explicit FTP over TLS
(this actually works)

I would like to connect via Webstorm 3.0.
Are there some more advanced features of FTP connection in Webstorm?
Anyone help?

As I understand it, WebStorm supports FTP and SFTP (SSH, not normal FTP through SSL/TSL), but not FTPS (FTP through SSL/TSL).

See this feature request. Seems they are aware that this feature is missing, but in no hurry to implement it. (That report is over a year old.)

None that I'm aware of, but then again I don't use that IDE.

Never saw much sense in paying for something I can get for free :)

Define "intelligent" :)

There is a list up on Wikipedia of popular IDEs, that's worth a look:
- Comparison of IDEs

The most popular answers would probably be Netbeans and Aptana. Both have FTP and SSH support, but I can't say what FTP capabilities each has. (I abandoned FTP in favor of SSH a long time ago.) - Netbeans has "upload-on-save" capabilities, and Aptana has a file sync feature that you trigger manually.

Yea, OK. Both Aptana and Netbeans have auto-complete features, although Aptana is better at client-side coding and Netbeans at server-side or desktop coding. I'll admit though, that both sometimes fail to bring up the auto-complete at times. Not sure why. I've had to manually clear out the Netbeans cache a few times to get in working, when working on large PHP projects.

If that is a major concern, you may want to check out the Visual Studio version they included in the Windows 8 Developer Preview. That thing, a little buggy at this stage, has great Javascript support. And no auto-complete feature beats the IntelliSense. (And I say this as a pretty anti-Microsoft guy :)) - Of course, only the Express versions of VS are usually free.

Now I am interested in Aptana. (hope it have autocompletion for my variables, functions...)

Because I work client side only (design, html, css and jS) and i don't want any virtual server on my pc, I need to code and change files on server directly with autoFtp (with backup of course) :)
