    You could do this yourself with Git and a Windows Server, with people remoting in and having the appropriate permissions only on their shares, but I guess the bigger question is why? If the developers have local machines, they can develop on them. If you don't trust them, then there's no point in giving them any code. programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/10736/… Commented Oct 20, 2016 at 0:16

    "development on local machines won't work for us" - delirium and stupidity and lack of understanding... technically anybody anytime can write code into local file in local IDE. Deploy (more or less smart) in another question and separate task Commented Oct 20, 2016 at 1:10

    @OregonJeff: What does the workflow currently look like for a developer when he wants to make a change that is only visible in his own development environment (for example, to test something that isn't ready to be shared with others). Commented Oct 20, 2016 at 11:12

    To be more specific than that, how do developers work on a local IDE yet change remote files? Are they using shared drives? Or do they just have a local workspace and copy the file over once they're done? I think you need to go into more detail about the current process to get a good answer.

    It's critical to understand the constraints of a problem. After some Googling, it appears that you're using ColdFusion's RDS Fileview to access files. If you'd mentioned that in your original post, rather than a generic "this is what we want to do" it probably would have gotten better answers. And, to be honest, I think that as a specific question, it's more appropriate for SO rather than this site. Commented Oct 21, 2016 at 13:13
