Eclipse Remote System Explorer problems

I just installed this plugin in Eclipse Indigo, hoping to have a nice and clean way to access FTP and SSH sites while working in Eclipse.

However, I cannot connect to neither SSH nor FTP sites. I'm sitting on the same computer, connecting to FTP and SSH with FlashFXP and Putty without troublw. But when I put these servers into connections in the RSE in Eclipse, I get connection refused errors when trying to access the servers/sites.

SSH gives this error:

java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect

FTP gives this error:

Operation failed with exception
'java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect'

There is no error in the console when selecting "Connect" for the connections - the errors pop up when I try browsing "My Home" or "Root" for the connection.

Any ideas? I am working through a Cisco AnyConnect VPN connection, but since I can FTP and SSH with other clients, I find it strange that Eclipse won't let me.

Change the proxy setting to direct connection, because eclipse uses default proxy. so change it to direct.

I had the same problem and after days of searching i found the only solution is reverting to Java 6,

Java 7 was causing all these errors

like everything free you are left on your own with no support

Even though I solved the problem, I am back to using Dreamweaver, the support alone is worth the money
