I need a comfortable way to work on my server class in ec2 instance

Question

I have an instance of amazon ec2, and I have a java project in it. I'm loging in with putty and I'm looking for a way to update the code I'm writing in that project. For now, I'm writing in eclipse on my computer and transfer the whole project every time I change something. The editor ec2 offers is not a good one to work with. Is there a way to work directly on that project with eclipse or another good editor like notepad++ ?

Answer 1

You should use a version control system, for example git. "Transferring" the files then becomes as simple as git push on your development machine and git pull on ec2.
