NetBeans

NetBeans is a really decent editor, but it lacks one important feature (who knows why?). If you ever wanted to work on a remote server without having to download files and/or synchronize them (which NetBeans is horrible at), then use this simple hack:

Use a remote filesystem available in your Operating System

e.g.

• SSHFS (one of FUSE)
• AVFS
• KIO

sudo sshfs -o IdentityFile=/home/greg/.ssh/id_rsa -o allow_other greg@eqt:/var/www/freephile.com/www/wikireport /mnt/droplet

Then, setup a project in NetBeans with existing sources, and use the mountpoint
