Eclipse is funny about file locking, I know I tried to run Eclipse 
utilizing a directory on an NFS shared and it freaked out. Now with SMB 
it works fine, but I'm sure utilizing FTP/SFTP won't quite work how you 
want it to.

I think you'd be better off having the option to download an FTP/SFTP 
directory as a project (or at least into a project), and then have a 
button in Eclipse for "Upload To Server", which would republish your 
changes in that directory to an FTP/SFTP server.
