Importing a project from a remote server
Importing a project from a remote server
VS.Php provides a mechanism in which you can create a new project locally based on the content in a remote server. The wizard will download all the php and related files via Ftp, FtpS or SFtp.
The process starts with a new project wizard. It asks you for the location of the remote server. You can use Ftp, SFtp and FtpS to acces the remote server. The wizard will then query the server for key information on the Php configuration. Including the following:
- List of all modules installed on the server
- Version of Php the server is running
Once the content is downloaded and the project created, the user can configure the deploy settings as he would normally do. You can choose to deploy the files back to the same server they were downloaded or deploy the files to another server.
Downloading content
Some project might have a lot more data than what you might be interested. In order to avoid downloading unwanted files, the project wizard lets you select which project subfoldes should ignore.
