share /var/data/drupal on windows

Hi,

Is there a way to make the /var/data/drupal folder accessible from a windows machine, i.e. share it so I can read and write contents directly to this folder (more specifically my drupal themes folder) so I can access css etc. directly from my applications.
Now I am using WinSCP to access the drupal machine but this means I always have to copy changed files before seeing the result in my browser.

Thx.

Erik

integrate WinSCO with other external editors : good tip

Hello Austin,

Thanks for the tip to integrate WinSCP with other external editors. It works perfect for the tools I currently use (notepad++ and topstyle pro).

Regards,

Erik

share /var/data/drupal on windows

Hello Erik,
We haven't provided a convenient way for users to do this yet, but we may do so in the future. It could be made to work using SAMBA or WebDAV but that would take a little work and could cause other problems on the JumpBox if not done right.

You might look for an editor which can edit remote files via SCP/SFTP or actually I just found WinSCP might help you ... it has its own simple built in editor and can also integrate with other external editors. This could provide a good middle ground while waiting for us to integrate this as a feature.

Good luck,
Austin
