Summary: Add Support For rsync Transfers
Key: NETBEANS-2554
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2554
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: php - FTP Support, platform - Filesystems
Affects Versions: 11.0, 10.0, 9.0
Reporter: Nathan Christiansen
It would be helpful if we could add an rsync option to the PHP - Sources On
Remote Server project type. Old Netbeans issue:
[https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202828]
*Rationale*
For most project types the master source is the local filesystem and builds go
out through uploads or commits to a VCS. However, for PHP on a remote server it
can go either way, the master source could be local filesystem, or the master
source can be on that remote server and the local filesystem needs to be
updated when the files on the remote server are updated.
Also, when these projects are large (over 25,000) files. The current
synchronize process takes a very long time. Using the rsync protocol will
reduce the time significantly.
There is a maintained java rsync library: [https://github.com/fracpete/rsync4j]
*Use Case*
In my case I use the synchronize option and ALWAYS change uploads to downloads
(or the rare case deletes).The reasoning is that the remote server is the DEV
server and connects to a VCS (subversion). The VCS updates happen on the remote
server and the local filesystem needs to be updated.
I have tried doing a local copy of the VCS but the complication of updating the
remote server with multiple repositories outweighs the manual changing of the
synchronize dialog.
I also tried doing a samba share, but that was unreliable.
