Can I do this?
« on: January 14, 2014, 07:03:47 PM »
Hi, I just bought Yummy FTP Watcher off the Mac App Store.

As a web developer I have projects where there are a large number of folders on the server, but a smaller set locally that are part of source control.

I want to configure Yummy FTP Watcher so when I make edits within these source control folders locally, they are automatically uploaded to the server ASAP so I can test the changes on the remote server.

For these source control folders I need Yummy FTP Watcher to delete any files I delete as well as create files I have created and edit files I have edited locally. However, for the other non-source folders I want the server folders left alone.

The updates need to be as quick as possible so I can edit, reload the browser and test, edit reload the browser and test, etc.

As an example...

LOCALLY

.git/ [don't upload to server]
/site [send all changes to the server as soon as they happen]
/admin [send all changes to the server as soon as they happen]

REMOTELY

/site [kept up to date from local]
/admin [kept up to date from local]
/assets [does not exist locally, should be left alone]
/session-data [does not exist locally, should be left alone]

Nothing is pulled from the server to local.

Can Yummy FTP Watcher do this? If so, what is the best way to configure it? I ask because I can't find any help docs.

Yes, you can do this, but please contact me via email for better support.

You'll need to use the Filters option and/or specific exclusions, and the Sync Update Server-type watcher. To use these settings connect to your server from the watcher setup window then right click to choose exclusions and/or choose the Filters option from the Listing menu.
