When i reported this "bug":(https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243728) I was told I could better use Remote Sychronization. The problem is that its not keeping its settings. My project contains a few thousand files. e.g. i have a config file that only extists on the remote server and every time it tries to delete or download it i've marked the file with "no operation" but the next time i sychronize the status of the file is changed to delete/download and i have manually deselect about 1000 files which only exist on the remote server. Remote synchronization would be very helpful for development if it would work like expected. Thanks in advance!
Frankly, I have no idea how we should "remember" which files should be ignored etc. I am not talking about how to implement it but how to present it to the user. NetBeans would need to somehow mark such files and there should also be an option to "sync-again" these files. Could not you use the "filter" checkboxes? I mean simply check only Upload checkbox and only upload should be run (and no download)? Could this help you? Thanks.
