Zend Studio 9: Remote Server and dot folders

Question

It looks like Zend Studio 9 "Remote Server Support" tool just ignores folders, beginning with a dot. And I hadn't found I it's possible to change this behavior.

---

Example:

1. Suppose we've got the following set of files on a local Win7 x64 machine:

   a/
    b/
     b_file1
     .c1/
        c_file1
   

2. Create a "PHP Project from existing directory" (directory = "a")

3. Set up the connection (in Project properties -> Remote Server Support)

4. Agree to upload data to the server.

Results:

• b_file1 is uploaded OK.
• c_file1 and .c1 are missing.
• moreover(bonus): if one create a/b/.c2 folder, it would be uploaded, but a/b/.c2/c2_file would not.

Question:

How do I upload c_file and .c1 folder too?

PS:

Just in case my description wasn't accurate enough, here's 3.5 minutes long screenvideo (exactly the same as "Example" above).

Answer 1

I've found a couple of ways to sync this folders anyway, regardless of "Remote Server Support"

1. Here's an official Zend's article on how to do this with rsync

2. Here's a tutorial on how to use another, more advanced external tool - unison, which can be "integrated" too.
