You can access all your files using FTP. This article will show you how to Edit-In-Place with Eclipse Neon.3 and Remote Systems Extension.

Setting up the connection

  • Add a new connection:

Setting up a filter to access files

You can access your files by browsing the filesystem's root, but this is much more handy:

  • Create a new filter:
    FTPEclipse04.png
  • Input folder with this format: /QSYS.LIB/YOURLIBRARY.LIB/YOURPHYSICALSOURCEFILE.FILE, for example: /QSYS.LIB/SNDBX.LIB/SNDBX.FILE
  • You can now access the members of this file:
