Network Connections

Some networks use Proxy servers to provide Internet Services to LAN Clients. Clients behind the Proxy may therefore, only connect to the Internet via the Proxy Service. The Proxy Configuration dialog enables this configuration. If you are not sure whether your computer is required to use a Proxy server to connect to the Internet or the values required by the Proxy Configuration dialog, please consult your Network Administrator.

Open the Network Connections panel by selecting WindowPreferencesAuthor+Network Configuration.

Complete the dialog as follows:

Enable the HTTP/WEBDAV protocols

When checked Http/WebDAV proxy and proxy settings are enabled. The host, port, username and password that the <oXygen/> plugin uses are the ones set in the general Network Connections settings of Eclipse.

Important

This may affect other plugins functionality.

Lock WebDAV files on open

If checked the files opened through WebDAV are locked on the server so that they cannot be edited by other users while the lock placed by the current user still exists.

Encoding for FTP control connection

The encoding used to communicate with FTP servers. It is one of ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8. If the server supports the UTF-8 encoding <oXygen/> will use it for communication. Otherwise it will use ISO-8859-1.

Private key file

The path to the file containing the private key used for the private key method of authentication of the secure FTP (SFTP) protocol. The user/password method of authentication has precedence if it is used in the Open URL dialog.

Passphrase

The passphrase used for the private key method of authentication of the secure FTP (SFTP) protocol. The user/password method of authentication has precedence if it is used in the Open URL dialog.

Show SFTP certificate warning dialog

If checked a warning dialog will be shown each time when the authenticity of the host cannot be established.
