Remote Project in UltraEdit Studio

UltraEdit Studio is a great editor. The project feature is really nice, but it has one flaw. It can't handle remote project files. UES has an FTP feature, but every time you make a change to a file, it is not automatically uploaded to the remote FTP site, you have to move it over manually, it gets really annoying.

The best way I found to "trick" UltraEdit Studio into working on a remote project is to use a tool called SFTP Drive. Using SFTP Drive, you can mount SCP from a remote linux server to a network drive in Windows. Then make a project on z:\ (where you mounted SCP) and load all the files into the project from z:\ (where you mounted SCP). Then when you make a change to a "local" project file, you're actually editing the remote file.

Not very elegent, but it works better than manually right clicking on a file and "Upload to Server".
