How to setup FTP Site Deployer
First of all you have to install the FTP Site Deployer Plugin. Check installation instruction in Netbeans Web Site How to Install a Plugin
When the plugin is installed you will find a new toolbar with “No main project” and a button with “…”
Now it’s time to open your web project and to setup your FTP Connection. Every Web Project can have a FTP Connection. The plugin can manage any number of web projects and switch from one to another project without problem. Open your web project and set it as Main Project
You need to do this manually.
Now it’s time to setup your FTP connection: click on the button in the FTP Plugin Tool bar and you will see the preferences panel:
It’s possibile to choose between three different kind of projects. It’s very important to match your project type, because every projects type has differents source path and build path.

If you choose a java source file, the FTP Plugin automatically deploy in the remote FTP Server the class version of the selected source file. Before upload class files you have to build your project
Nice post! very Useful!
How to setup this plugin? I need xml file with ftp settings?
Can You describe syntax of this file?
Thank you
The xml configuration file is automatically created when you set up the connection configuration in the toolbar of the plugin. In any case the file should be named AskFtpSiteDeployer.xml in the main directory of your project (the same where is stored the build.xml).
This is the xml configuration file syntax:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ standalone=”no”? >
<root>
<FtpSiteDeployer host=”myhost” pass=”mypassword” user=”myusername”/>
</root>
Thank You!
But something is wrong!
