Keeping files in sync
The file watcher synchronizes local paths to a remote path. When a change is detected on a watched local path, it is propagated to the configured remote path within about 5 seconds.
You can watch as many paths as you like.
Watching a path
- Put the cursor on the local explorer, on the file or directory you want to keep synchronized.
- In the remote panel, navigate to the directory where the changes should be reported.
- Press
<T>. - Answer
<YES>to the popup.
Unwatching a path
You can stop watching a path in two ways:
- Press
<T>on the watched local path (or any of its subfolders). - Press
<CTRL+T>, then press<ENTER>on the path you want to unwatch.
Propagated changes
The following changes are reported to the remote host:
- New files and file changes
- Files moved or renamed
- Files removed or unlinked
The watcher works in one direction only (local to remote). Changes made on the remote host are not synchronized back to the local host.
