Welcome to Aptana. My name is Michelle, and I'm going to be demonstrating how to create a new FTP or SFTP site today.

For my demonstration, I'm going to create an SFTP site that's going to connect to the turboflix.com website, and I'm going to show you a second example that connects to a folder within the turboflix.com website.

So to start off, I'm going to create a connection to turboflix.com. To do this, I'm going to go to my file view, and right click on SFTP, and then select "add new SFTP site". I give it a site name, in this case it's "turboflix", and you can call this anything you want. The server is turboflix.com.

I'm not going to use a remote path in this example, and now I can just type my username and password, and I'm going to click "OK" to create the connection.

Now that I've created the connection, I can expand the site, and I can browse any of the folders within this site. Now this is great if I want to upload or synchronize an entire website. But sometimes you might want to just synchronize or upload files between a folder that's a subfolder on a website.

Now, to do this, you can create a remote path SFTP site, and I will show you how to do that now.

I'm going to right click SFTP, and select "add new SFTP site", and in this case we're going to connect the "foo" folder on turboflix. So I'm just going to call my site "turboflix/foo", the server is still going to be turboflix.com, and for the remote path, I'm going to have to type out the full path for this folder. It's "usr/home/pcolton/foo". And I'll need to type in my username and password again, and click "OK".

If I expand this, you can see that I get into this foo folder on turboflix; you can see the folders "bar2", "functional", and "unit", and if I expand the roots here and then expand the foo folder, you'll see "bar2", "functional", and "unit", and see that I have access to all the same files and everything.

Now the next step in this process would be for me to actually create a connection between one of these SFTP sites and the folder on my hard drive. That's going to be another demonstration though. Thank you.
