New feature comming on VS.Php 2.4 - Website Copy
Up to this point, the deployment functionality in VS.Php has been pretty simple. You make changes to your files locally and push those to the server by deploying your project.
In VS.Php 2.4 we are adding a very handy tool that gives you a lot more flexibility and functionality. It is called Website Copy. When working on a local project with deployment configured you will see a new icon in the solution view toolbar. This new icon will give you access to the website copy dialog.
This dialog lets you see what's both on the client and on the server at the same time. It has two handy links on top that lets you copy all your files from the client to the server and vice versa. But more importantly, it lets you drag and drop files from each side. This gives you the up most flexibility when it comes to keeping your project locally up to date and having granular control on what you push to the server. The next nightly build of VS.Php 2.4 will contain this functionality. I hope you find it useful.
