Synchronization via FTP

Is CFBuilder dropping FTP synchronization, or is it just not part of Thunder yet? Or should I install some 3rd party plugin. Yes I know FTP synchronization is old school.

CFB 3 is a freaking mess. The FTP/RDS/SYNC is impossible to navigate. It's like they are trying to make it impossible on purpose.

Thanks Charlie,

RSE is very easy to install - http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.rse.doc.user%2Fgettingstarted%2Fg_start.html

FTP functionality is back...

I have RSE installed and my remote ftp connection set up and working. Now, how do I go about synchronizing my project? I know I can copy the files and paste within the RSE perspective. But, I want to be working in my project and, for example, put a file to the remote system via FTP. I am not finding that setting up this functionality in CFB3 is intuitive. I am used to using Dreamweaver, but wanted to check out CFB3.

It still supports FTP Sync, but it is not intuitive. First you export a project with FTP to establish the settings, and then go to Window >>Show View >>Team >>Synchronize. More information is available in the Help called "Guide to WebDav and FTP"

Very difficult to use - a step back from CFB2. I don't understand the logic behind this change. I constantly use synchronise to compare differences and update remote servers on a constant basis; this is a big disappointment.
