Question

Data synchronization

There is a site that is assembled by a script in one folder. You need a program that synchronizes the contents of this folder with the contents of the folder on FTP (respectively, to update only changed files, delete those that do not exist, but with the ability to specify folders from which you cannot delete). I know that there are such ready-made solutions, but I do not know the names. Tell me who is using what.

Answer 1

WinSCP

Answer 2

The most versatile is rsync, but you can look for something more specific.

Answer 3

Try Git - made changes, issued a commit, sent it to production with one click.
And all this without leaving the IDE.

Answer 4

I support the previous author with rsync, but it's also worth adding lsyncd to rsync. We are at work so as not to raise a healthy technology stack for everyone on the machine, upload our changes directly to the server in our directory and see what is happening right on the semi-combat server.
it will take about 10-60 minutes to set up lsyncd, but after that it will work like clockwork. One thing. If a lot of files are being changed at the same time (switching turnip branches for example), it may crash.
