XDebug and Target Management for Eclipse

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

Welcome to another exciting episode. This time you will learn:

  • how to send your files to remote development server from within Eclipse using Target Management and secure FTP (sftp).
  • make files sent via sftp belong to certain user group and have write permissions for this group (umask).
  • configure and use XDebug with Eclipse PDT.

You can find the link to the tutorials about XDdebug I have mentioned on the show in show notes for Episode #7.
