I just gave a course in XHTML och CSS (and a little PHP) to upper secondary students. I had them use Aptana cause I wanted to present them with a product that they could use legally without paying. (I didn't want to teach them Dreamweaver since I felt that they wouldn't be in the positioning of buying it for quite some time, especially not since I encouraged them not to use WYSIWYG features.) I was a little embarrassed by having Aptana's bugginess in the SFTP features (you know sometimes the connection died out, without saying anything). I'd have been glad to find that a stable version now was released, if it wasn't so that the SFTP feature was dropped from the free version... making it a really poor choice for my students. Please listen to us Aptana devs! Put the SFTP back into the community version of Aptana, instead you could take out some more features used mostly by professionals into the pro version. SFTP is for everyone, not only pros... you'll lose a lot of users (maybe even including me) until you correct this problem. cheers, Simon Hi!

When I updated, it removed all my sftp projects from my workspace, asking me to pay if I want to access them... WTF ? Do you know where I could get this old sftp plugin ? I really hope someone makes a trully opensource distro of this tool with sftp and forks aptana. @Max Steenbergen:

It will map any FTP, SFTP or Webdav site to a real network drive so you edit files directly on the site from any windows application. I've been using it for all my development projects for many years now and couldn't imagine living without. If you’re on windows I highly recommend webdrive for SFTP.

I am using the last version of Aptana before 1.0, and there is no way I will upgrade now. It is very difficult to find a free IDE/text editor that supports SFTP ... anyone know of anything else?

I stopped using Aptana because (like Brian said), Eclipse is extremely slow. Its too bad though, Aptana has a great feature list that I would love to see in a faster app, it just isn't fast enough to keep up with me. Congrats on the release.

Dropping the SFTP Support from the community editions is extremly annoying ! The should have taken the whole Adobe Air stuff into the Pro version instead. Considering the fact that I would have to pay $ 99 for SFTP, 'cause I'm not interested in the other 'goodies' of the pro version and that the Ruby and Rails development is quite slow due to the fact that it's just backed by 1 developer, I'm just disappointed about this news. It's a pitty, that Netbeans (6) has no integrated SFTP. That would make the switch quite easy. @ James Asher

What intelligent person uses FTP across the web nowadays? After having unauthorized access to my webhost account due to using cleartext usernames/passwords via FTP, I'll never use it again unless I'm on a network closed off from the Intarweb.

There don't seem to be any improvements on speed because it takes over a minute just to start up on an Athlon 3500+ with 2GB RAM.
