Automatic file download from server when opened on local machine in PHPStorm?

Question

phpstorm

Is it possible to configure PHPStorm in such a way that before opening a local file, it automatically checks it against the version that is on the server and offers to download if the file is newer on the server? Or that it just automatically downloads it?

Answer 1

Tools->Deployment->Options -> Warn when uploading over newer files and Notify about remote changes
seems to be the most appropriate setting available

Answer 2

I consider the situation where this may be required to be extremely wrong, and sooner or later leading to a fuckup.
This functionality is needed to upload changes to the local dev-server, with which one person works.
It cannot be used to edit the site in production.
Especially when several people do it.
It would be correct to use the VCS tools - they are located in the PhpStorm main menu.

The best way to synchronize with the Realsync dev server is habrahabr.ru/post/139348/
And for storing source codes - git or mercurial, at worst svn
Synchronization in teamlab is certainly good, but there is no history ...
