Opening and Saving Remote Documents

Oxygen XML Developer plugin supports editing remote files, using the FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV protocols. You can edit remote files in the same way you edit local files.

You can open one or more remote files in the Open using FTP/SFTP dialog box

A WebDAV resource can be locked when it is opened in Oxygen XML Developer plugin by checking the Lock WebDAV files on open option to prevent other users to modify it concurrently on the server. If a user tries to edit a locked file, Oxygen XML Developer plugin displays an 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 plugin.

To avoid conflicts with other users when you edit a resource stored on a SharePoint server, you can Check Out the resource.

To improve the transfer speed, the content exchanged between Oxygen XML Developer plugin and the HTTP / WebDAV server is compressed using the GZIP algorithm.

The current WebDAV Connection details can be saved using the Database Perspective button and then used in the Data Source Explorer view.
