PhpStorm, about ftp sync


Just trying out this IDE but it already looks better than NetBeans in terms of speed and usability.. However, the main reason I chose it was the ftp sync feature, which.. doesn't seem to be working? When I create new project from existing files -> from remote server, ftp, it downloads the files and that's it. If I open it with open directory it doesn't upload changes to the server. So what am I doing wrong?


Solution

  • Please refer to the corresponding help section. For the synchronization feature see Comparing Deployed Files and Folders with Their Local Versions.

    File | Synchronize is not related to remote hosts at all, it synchronizes the files with the file system in case external changes were not detected automatically for some reason or you've disabled automatic files synchronization on frame activation.
