I'm running Eclipse PDT Helios under Windows seven and hosting a debian server within a VirtualBox VM, for development purposes.

I'm struggling with the RSE as I can run a text search on the remote file system, but the obtained result is not satisfactory: I get only the content of the files owned by "root" (as per the SFTP connection setup), but not the other files contents.

For sure, a solution could be to own all files by root within the remote system, but this is not what I'm looking for.

Is there any particular setting to be adjusted within Eclipse to state it must search for all files, not only the ones owned by "root" ?

EDIT

RSE view shows up the file tree, and I can open/edit/save them. But I can't browse any of these 开发者_运维技巧directories in the remote search window.

solved by setting differently the ssh user in Eclipse and permissions in the VM.
