Description Tomas Mysik 2012-06-21 08:43:42 UTC

Originally unrelated part of issue #214497:

Sometimes, there are folders I do not need to sync at all, like tmp, cache,
downloads, uploads, etc. So I go to the project settings and put those on to
the exclude list.

Then they are ignored by the FTP syncing as expected.
It would be nice, to right click on those folders and put them directly to the
ignore list. (as like you can do with a git project folder).

+1 vote for this must-have feature! (PHP remote project)

It's very time and space consuming to download a full project with local copies of unneccessary files (like images, download folders...) but still have every code files you need. Right now, Netbeans can download and synchronize only the full structure of the specified root folder. Yes, you can select individual folders when you click Download... but that's unmanageable if you try to use Synchronize often to keep your local copy up to date.

I know there's an Ignore folders dialog, but that's for local folders only (which I don't want to upload/synchronize to the remote server).

Is there a way to have a remote ignore folders/files feaature for remote PHP projects? Especially with complex include/exclude regular expressions? This way, it would be possible to define exact folders for a whole site which are needed for development, and ignore unnwanted big files from being downloaded.
In Eclipse, there's a complex include/exclude dialog for that with quite complex possibilities, something similar would solve big unwanted downloads. Is it possible in the near future?
