Welcome to Aptana. My name is Michelle, and I'm going to be demonstrating how to create a site connection between a folder or a project on your local hard drive in Aptana, and between a remote FTP site.

Now to start off, the first way I'm going to show you how to use this is by using this sync manager. I'm going to right click the connection that I want to use. Now in a previous video, I demonstrated how to set up these FTP sites. The remote site that I'm going to use is a folder called "foo" on the turboflix.com site.

So I'm going to right click this and choose "as site connection". I could also click the same button up here. And for connection name, I'm going to call it "sorted tables". The path, I'm going to use a project, click browse, I've got my project here, table sorter, click OK, and under remote I'm going to fill out the site that I'm going to connect to. I'm going to choose "turboflix/foo".

Now I could also create a new project shortcut if I was going to synchronize between projects, which I don't think you would need to do very often, or I could create a new SFTP or FTP site directly from this dialogue. I'm going to choose turboflix/foo, and click OK.

My new connection is now showing up in the sync manager. I can right click this, and click synchronize, and actually go through the synchronization process. I'm going to show that in another video though.

Now another way that I can create a connection is I can create a connection in the file view. So I'm going to create a connection to a folder that's on my hard drive in my My Documents folder. So I'll expand My Documents, I've got my folder here "aSite" that I'm going to use, I will right click that, come down here to synchronize, and choose "create new synchronize connection".

It names my connection for me when I go about creating a site connection this way, going to call it "aSite", the path is in my file it would be where it says file here instead of project, and browse. You can see that it's going to connect to this "aSite" folder that I created. Now into remote, I can just choose my FTP site. And I'll go ahead and choose that turboflix/foo again, and I will click OK.

And now you can see that these little arrows show that a connection has been set up between this folder and a remote site. So now that this connection's set up, I can go about doing any of my file transfers, any one of a number of ways. And I'm going to demonstrate that in another video for you. Thank you.
