To do this, open the ColdFusion Builder File view (by default is it on the left, under the Navigator view), and scroll down to find the FTP connection types (FTP, FTPS, SFTP). To use ColdFusion Builder’s FTP integration, you first need to define your FTP server, including specifying login information. Using the FTP integration it becomes possible to easily upload and download files (or folders or even entire sites), compare local and remote file versions, and more. Moving files to remote servers often requires the use of FTP, and so ColdFusion Builder features built in support for FTP (as well as FTP’s more secure cousins, SFTP and FTPS). Ideally, they use a local Developer Edition (it’s free!), write and test, and then deploy to another server, perhaps a staging server or a production server, as the case may be. ColdFusion developers don’t (well, shouldn’t ever) write code on production servers.

And having been using it extensively this week, and realizing in doing so that it is sometimes less than intuitive (although to be fair, the product is still in beta and not quite finished yet), I thought I’d share some notes on how to get started with ColdFusion Builder’s FTP integration.īut first, a quick introduction. But one feature that has been mentioned and not discussed in much detail yet, an absolutely vital feature for me personally, is the FTP integration.


Lots has been written about ColdFusion Builder already, and lots more will undoubtedly be written. ColdFusion Builder is the planned and eagerly anticipated IDE built specifically for us ColdFusion developers.
