Eclipse remote system explorer and sudo

Asked 2012-12-14T08:33:02.773

I use Eclipse RSE to access files on a web server. To establish a sftp connection with Eclipse RSE I use my HippieBandJam user-ID. To edit files I need root access which I only can gain with the sudo command. In Eclipse RSE I have tried to start a new ssh terminal, use sudo su and then refreshed the sftp tree but this does not seem to work. Does anyone have any idea how to "upgrade" the sftp connection so I can edit the files?

Here is one idea:

create a mount point in your local system in /media/

use sshfs cmd to mount the remote server file system directory to .

In eclipse use the project, use add directory to your project Steps: right click on your project -> New -> Folder -> Advanced (Select link to alternate location) linked folder.

There you have your remote systems files synced up...

Hope this helps!
