Netbeans 8.2 - synchronise/upload/download missing

I am using NetBeans 8.2. I noticed that the remote synchronisation / download and upload entry is missing in the context menu suddenly.

How it should look like:

I already restarted netbeans. What can I do?

Solution

  • The issue is arising because you are comparing the context menu on the Files tab with the context menu on the Projects tab. I see the same thing for a PHP project.

    Projects tab (with context menu entries):

    ProjectsTab

    Files tab (without context menu entries):

    FilesTab

    I suspect that the menu entries are missing from the context menu on the Files tab because early documentation on the Remote Synchronization feature stated "Please notice that the remote synchronization works better only on the whole project (it means that the Source Files must be selected)", and you can't select "Source Files" from the Files tab.
