And then synchronizing took also 20 minutes, this time a bunch of files were uploaded to the server that weren’t changed at all. Again, I waited 3 minutes for the results window and Netbeans figured out that the new files should be deleted from my local copy instead of uploaded to the remote - totally wrong, but I understand that based on timestamps it can’t know any better. Then I added a temp folder into verdor and copied to it a couple of small files to see how fast they get uploaded by synchronizing.

Then after hitting Synchronize it went on downloading a bunch of files that didn’t have to be downloaded (because they were identical) and it all took 20 minutes. Trying to synchronize this folder while there are no changes between the local and remote - it first took Netbeans over 3 minutes just to analyse and display the info dialogue. As a test I have a vendor folder that is 7 MB in size with 2317 files and 476 folders (a small one, BTW!). I’m not fond of synchronization in the background because I may easily lose control over what goes to the live server - I’ve already experienced unexpected background file uploads that broke things and I don’t want this any more.īut I’ve tried the Synchronize option in Netbeans and it was slow as hell and unreliable. Interesting idea, I haven’t thought of that. However, maybe there is some ready made tool for that?

Uploading a single zip is an order of magnitude faster than thousands of files and this might work well enough. But the vendor folder is outside version control so I don’t know which files have changed nor can I export them for upload.Īt the moment I’m thinking of making a simple php script that will extract a zipped vendor folder on the server. When I upload files from my projects I usually do a git diff to export only changed files and upload them in one go - this works well since there’s not many of such files usually. Some ftp programs offer synchronization tools but they can’t be relied upon if they only take time or file size into account - and they are slow, too. If my dependencies change and need to synchronize the contents of the vendor folder how do I do it? Are there any ready made tools for that? Uploading thousands of files each time via ftp is slow as hell.

Quite often I have only ftp access to a server and can’t use ssh or any Composer installations on the remote site. I’ve searched for this but couldn’t find any established method to do this.
