Comparing local and remote files in NetBeans

Is there a way to compare local and remote (FTP) file in NetBeans?

There is an upload (and download) command in NetBeans. What I want to do is to see the changes between local and remote version in built-in compare tool when I am using download and upload and ideally select which changes to apply.

In short, I would like to sync local and remote files using NetBeans' compare tool.

Right click + synchronise. A new window appears. Then select the "Review difference" icon.

  1. Select a file in the main editor or in Files/Projects panel
  2. Select Tools->Diff and a new window will open allowing you to select the file to "Diff to"

Available as code or text difference. Very good

PHPStorm can do it. The same setup as Netbeans, with your local files which can be uploaded to the server with a click, but you can do a lovely visual diff with the remote version with one click too. If you're not working with PHP, i think they have other very similar products. Only downside is it's £80 for a license.

Another way could be to use the old collaboration plugin or kenai support to use remote editing features.

E.g. see: Where can I find the old "Developer Collaboration" plugin?

It looks like there is no way to do it in NetBeans. There are however some standalone solutions, like vuBrief or FtpVC (not free).
