Version: 1.5.6 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux FTP UPLOAD FOR BACKUP AND VERSIONING PURPOSES: For project work related optimization. Automatic/manually triggered uploads of xmi files at specific interval to a user defined FTP area, from a user defined directory/workspace. Here we are talking about a timer controlled procedure where the user can set the interval between transfers or manually uploading triggered from a button/menu within the umbrello working UI. An integration of this type of save into other software project versioning tools would also be a resonable idea.
umbrello has build in upload feature to remote locations through the kio frameworks since ages. You may save a xmi file to a ftp resource by specifing a ftp url as target location. Automatic update could be enabled with umbrello "auto save" settings.
