- uola 10y agoWhy not use git?
- Already__Taken 10y agoSometimes your cheap shared hosts don't have git on the other end.
- tonyplee 10y agoYou should try Digital Ocean $5/month. Have root access, etc. Is there a shared host cheaper than that?
- vially 10y agoI don't know if there is any shared host cheaper than that (I suppose there are but I'm too lazy to check right now), but sometimes the appeal in using a shared host is in some of their features which you don't get in a VPS (e.g.: cpanel).
- tonyplee 10y agoAlso be very careful, with "Dirty COW" hack, anyone can become root as long as they can run their own binary on any shared host.
- eugeneionesco 10y agoHow can I use git to connect remotely to a server and edit a file?
- codedokode 10y agoGit deployment requires you to make commits. I prefer having a find + rsync based script that finds modified files and uploads them via SSH.
- Already__Taken 10y agoWhy not use some tool for that and decouple it from your editor requirements? I leave a gulp task running when I have to use ftp work to just mirror my git branch https://www.npmjs.com/package/vinyl-ftp https://www.npmjs.com/package/vinyl-ftp
- overcast 10y agoSFTP uses SSH, and I need SYNC ability, not just reupload the entire project.
- codedokode 10y agoI use a rsync-based script to upload only changed files. In large projects rsync takes some time to find changed files so I wrote another script that finds them by modified time and passes a list to rsync.
- dflock 10y agoI see requests for this a lot. Is there a reason not to just do this at the OS level, with FUSE (sshfs) or GVFS or something - then it'll just work everywhere? I can't see why every editor should be implementing filesystem stuff?
- icegreentea 10y agoI've found the ftp-sync extension's sftp support adequate for my use so far. I've definitely found full-syncs to be a bit slow when there's a lot of stuff in the folder, but it seems ok so far.
- overcast 10y agoThat plugin is crap for any decently sized sync. It completely hangs and crashes VS Code.

- lenkite 10y agoWhy can't you use rsync ? Curious on the use case for this if you don't mind elaborating.
- overcast 10y agoI can use rsync, I'd rather it all integrated. I don't think this is a big request here, as every other editor has at least a functional plugin for this.
