Oxygen XML Developer supports editing remote files, using the FTP, SFTP and WebDAV protocols. The remote files can be edited exactly as the local ones, for example they can be added to a project, and can be subject to XSL and FO transformations.
You can open one or more remote files in the dialog Open using FTP/SFTP/WebDAV .
A WebDAV resource can be locked when it is opened in Oxygen XML Developer by checking the option Lock WebDAV files on open to prevent other users to modify it concurrently on the server. If a user tries to edit a locked file, the application will display a error message that contains the lock owner's name. The lock is released automatically when the editor for that resource is closed in Oxygen XML Developer .
To improve the transfer speed, the content exchanged between Oxygen XML Developer and the HTTP / WebDAV server is compressed using the GZIP algorithm.
The current WebDAV
Connection details can be saved using the
button and then used in the Data Source Explorer view.
