SCP for Komodo IDE

by admin on August 17, 2009

I have just finished developing my first Komodo IDE plugin. I love Komodo. It’s the first IDE for PHP that I’ve been very, very happy using. I’ve run it on Windows, Linux and now on a MacBook. The only frustration I’ve had is that Komodo doesn’t support basic integrated file uploading via SCP. While it is possible to save a file remotely, there is no simple way to save a file locally and upload it to a mapped location on a remote server from within the IDE.

Fortunately Komodo also provides a simple method for creating extensions within the IDE itself, so I gave it a try. Within a few hours I was able to build an extension to do exactly what I needed and configure it on a per-project basis. I’ve made the extension available as an MIT-licensed, open-source project. As always, this project is included on the open source tools page.
