Description regisit 2017-05-04 07:27:39 UTC
When we need to upload/download one or more files we're working on, there's no means to upload from the file tabs or file list. We have to first find the file in the project sources (or Select in Projects) in the left pane and then we have the option to upload. On a large project with files in multiple deep folders (e.g. Magento), this is an unnecessary phaff. We can customise to add Upload on a hot-key combination, but this is lost when we have to clear cache because it's has gotten corrupted.

Simpler if upload/download was in the context menu on the file tab.

Upload/download is also disabled for local (default) config. It should be enabled for all as "copy sources" is flaky.
