| FTP Plugin |

The FTP plugin allows you to browse directories and edit files on remote FTP
sites. In previous jEdit versions, FTP support was in the editor core; as
of jEdit 3.0, it has been moved into a plugin.
To connect to an FTP server, either select Connect to FTP Server from a
VFS browser's More menu, or use the
Open from FTP Server and Save to FTP Server commands in the
Plugins>FTP menu.
jEdit caches remote directory listings to improve performance. Changing files
from within jEdit will automatically update the cache as necessary. However, if
changes are made from another program, you will need to clear the cache
manually using the Clear Remote Directory Cache command in the
Plugins>FTP. To force jEdit to forget all passwords, use the
Forget Remote Passwords command in the same menu.
