ColdFusion Builder 3 does not ship with an FTP utility, but you can workaround that by installing the Eclipse Remote Systems Explorer (RSE) as follows:

  • Within ColdFusion Builder 3, click Help --> New Software

  • Once connected, the easiest way to move files to your FTP server is to drag the files or folder from the File View to the appropriate location within your RSE connection

  • If prompted to overwrite files, choose 'Overwrite' to upload the new files to your server and click OK. This will only replace files that have the same name as the files being uploaded. Any other files within the folder will remain on the FTP server.
