Hello,

I am trying to setup Eclipse (Kepler SR2) to work with web-based projects (PHP, HTML, JavaScript). using Web Development Tools, PHP Development Tools and Remote System Explorer, as alternative to Aptana (because of it's bundeled PyDev version lag).

Now, when I want to start syncing local files to web server, I select "Export from project.." option in "Remote System Explorer" Perspective on remote target directory, check Review/Sync option, and in result, after "Put" action in "Team Synchronizing" perspective I get in result that all selected files are exported into subdirectory named "My Project Name".

As specific example, I've got project with some subdirs (It's for custom Drupal modules which has to be uploaded into specific website subdirectory):

-"My Drupal Modules" (Project in "Project Explorer").
 -sites
  -default
   -modules
    -my_custom_module_1
    -my_custom_module_2

If I select "sites" in remote server and click "Export from project" sub menu item, result is like this:

-somewhere-in-web-server
 -sites
  -"My Drupal Modules" <--- this is wrong
   -sites
    -default
     -my_custom_module_1
     -my_custom_module_2
  -default
   -modules 
    -my_custom_module_1 <-- not overwritten by my local updated copies
    -my_custom_module_2 <-- not overwritten by my local updated copies

It's the same if I "Export from project" into root website directory, "My Drupal Modules" project folder is always created.

Is it possible to overcome this? Or am I doing whole synchronizing in the wrong way?
