Aptana: Secure FTP in cygwin window - cygwin

I am running Aptana 3 to develop web applications.
In the bottom of the IDE there is a panel with the
Cygwin interface to the filesystem including Unix
commands running on top of windows. This is useful
because it means I can use ftp to upload my web
files to the remote server.
However the sftp client (FTP + TLS) is not included
in this distribution. Anyone know an easy way to
add it to this aptana cygwin plugin environment?
Thank you for your help,
John Goche

SFTP is a part of the openssh package. See this answer on superuser for more details.

How can I mount an aws linux instance locally?

I work on a windows machine but I ssh into an AWS linux box to do most of my work. I'm trying to figure out a way I can use my local tools (specifically Spyder) to open up files (python files) from the server so I can edit them in the IDE and then run them on the server. (Note: its not just for code, I also want to be able to open csv's I generate, etc...).
Many modern IDE's provide this option through SSH, looking at the documentation for Spyder, it seems to refer to this configuration as a 'remote kernel'.
I do not use Spyder, but I use a similar configuration to do development with Visual Studio Code on my laptop with remote execution over SSH to an EC2 instance. In VS Code it is referred to as Remote SSH, you open a folder on the remote server as your VS Code workspace.

Tell x2goclient to capture the windows key?

I'm working on a Windows 10 machine, connecting to multiple Debian linux machines (stable, up-to-date) via x2go. I'd like x2go to grab the Windows key when I'm working within the remote linux system. I've looked at the x2go docs, searched the web, and looked at the local x2go client files, but found nothing.
When I connect to a remote Windows Terminal Server, that machine captures the Windows key, so I know in theory it is possible for the remote to obtain the Windows key press.
If this is not possible, are there other ways to make the remote desktop connection from Windows 10 to linux such that I could accomplish this?
Thank you for your time and thoughts.
I had the same problem and found the following solution.
In the X2GO client, go to your client settings (not the session preferences) and go to the X.Org Server settings tab. Here select custom server, go to your vcxsrv executable. Windows default location: C:/Program Files (x86)/x2goclient/VcXsrv/vcxsrv.exe
For the command line options, add -keyhook this will grab all pressed keys and forward them to the session. For me I use -multiwindow -notrayicon -clipboard -keyhook

Setting up Rsync to pull from Windows to Linux Box using cwrsync

I have a set of machines, a mixture of Linux and Windows Boxes.
I hav set up rsync to pull from the Linux Machines to a Linux Server box.
I am trying to accomplish the same using cwRsync, to pull to the Linux box from the windows machines. I have downloaded the free version from https://www.itefix.no/i2/content/cwrsync-free-edition and also I have downloaded CopSSH. I have managed to install CopSSH fine and I am able to SSH between the Linux and Windows hosts no problem using keys rather than passwords.
However, for the life of me I can't get this cwRsync working, I've googled the matter to death, and your meant to unzip the directory, configure the environment settings in the batch file then install it. However, there is nothing to install it with! and the reason it isn't working is because it needs to install a windows service for it to run.
Any help would be much appreciated!
As described at itefix web page for the free edition, it allows to initiate rsync from your Windows machine, i.e. client functionality only (push data). Server functionality allowing you to set up an rsync server on Windows to pull data from it is not a part of the free edition.

How to use external Tomcat server in Netbeans on Linux?

I am trying to use the external tomcat server installed on my machine (Ubuntu 11.10) and I a going through the motions of adding a new server to Netbeans, in the Server Location field I enter the /usr/share/tomcat6 directory but it gives an error:
The specified Server Location (Catalina Home) folder is not valid
I have searched Google, used the Netbeans wiki, and have searched here also but nothing seems to be able to get me past this point.
Yes, Netbeans does support external Tomcat installations. It does so without any problems on Windows, but there are a few wrinkles if you want to do it on Linux - with Ubuntu-based distributions anyway.
I wrote up my experiences here:
http://www.peredur.net/2011/12/linux-tomcat-and-netbeans/
Hopefully, that should help.
Yes, it is possible to debug a remote Tomcat, see http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Developing#Q3.

Serving files from linux share on IIS 6.0

dHi, I'm trying to setup my IIS server (6.0) to serve files from a linux share.
As I'm pretty unfamiliar with linux I ask the community for any input on this.
I've had problems even having IIS server serve content from another windows machine share, this could be a prolem with our domain. The iis server is not on the domain.
As I want to move more towards open source and linux I think having a simple file server is a good way to start.
I took the linux distro chooser at http://www.zegeniestudios.net and it recommends OpenSuse/Mandriva/Ubuntu.
Any oppinions on that would be welcome aswell.
You could use Samba to crate a Windows share on Linux.
