I have the Notepad++ FTP plugin installed, and I'd like to use it in Passive Mode - I don't want my files saved to the server immediately; I want to be able to control when I upload a file.
However, switching between Active and Passive mode in the profile manager appears to not do anything. Whenever I open a file from the local cache, modify it, and save it it gets uploaded immediately.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this feature just broken?
Thanks!

The situation is as follows: everything worked perfectly, PhpStorm worked without problems with FTP on the Remote Host tab. But at some point, it suddenly stopped doing it and when I open the project and try to view the contents of the host(s), this happens:
I can not click the [...] button to check the host(s) settings. If I connect to host(s) through another ftp client, everything works fine.
Question: how do I understand what the problem may be, and eliminate it?
Based on your idea.log file the issue seems to be with KeePass file that IDE is uses to store your credentials (logins and passwords). You can check the path to that file at Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behaviour | System Settings | Passwords
It's either inaccessible (has access permissions issue .. or wrong Master password) .. or is somehow corrupted.
Try this: close IDE, go there, backup that file (just in case) and try to open it with some another program that understands such KeePass format. That's to see if it's good inside.
If it's bad/cannot be used -- just delete it and IDE will create a new one on next launch.
I know about the automatic upload on external change setting in PHP Storm, but it only happens if PHP Storm is "active / in user focus". So if a file get's changed by some other source and my window focus is e.g. a browser, the file doesn't get uploaded until i refocus the IDE.
Do you know any way how to fix this behavior?
'Upload on external change' can't work unless PHPStorm is aware of this change. This is only possible if IDE virtual file system is synchronized with external changes - and it's get synchronized when you move focus to PHPStorm (if 'synchronize files on frame activation' is enabled). To synchronize VFS automatically, you need to run your 'some other source' from PHPStorm (as a file watcher, for example). Otherwise focusing IDE is the only way to make this work
I'm trying to figure out how to autoftp with Filezilla. Are there any other programs that do this right off the bat?
I use WinSCP for some of its amazing benefits. I connect to my FTP server with WinSCP and let it monitor my local folder /website/public_html.
Any changes I make in my local folder automatically get uploaded to my FTP server by WinSCP. The feature is called Keep remote directory up to date:
http://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_keep_up_to_date
As for SCSS, I also use it:
I have a script that opens a console window to watch my /website/scss files and compiles them to /website/public_html/styles/. WinSCP sees the CSS file has changed (or is new) and automatically uploads it.
Notice: The only downside is you cannot reach your error_log as that is automatically generated on the server by PHP. To do this you can easily instantiate another WinSCP to connect to your website. Now you have 1 WinSCP monitoring your local folder and 1 WinSCP where you can access your site map.
If by "autoftp" you mean "update the file on the server whenever I save it" and you're working with code, then I'd recommend the wonderful Notepad++
Notepad++ certainly is wonderful for this particular function and it even saves a cache of the whatever has been accessed and modified from the remote server.
The downside however (for me) is that Notepad++ will not auto-upload preprocessed CSS files like .scss or .less. I tried actually opening the resulting .css files in Notepad++ to mimic the act of editing them, but that still puts an extra step in the process. I have to click over to the tabs and manually save them (after the 'your file as changed prompt').
Currently, after I make changes, I click over to FZ and upload the files manually.
This response is late, but hopefully it will be helpful to those looking to get past Filezilla's "do you want to overwrite" prompt every time a file being edited locally is saved. Unfortunately, the Filezilla developers are staunchly opposed to making this behavior optional. It is a problem for many, especially when working with limited desktop space, since every time the prompt appears, one must expose the hidden filezilla window just to click okay.
Anyway, the answer is WinSCP. It is also free and is so similar to filezilla that I needed no learning to use it immediately.
Cheers!
There is an easier way to do that with NetBeans IDE, there is an option to upload files with FTP or SFTP on save, manually or on Run
Right click on your project and click Properties
Click the second category run configuration
Run As: Choose Remote Website (FTP,SFTP)
Project Url: put your website live link eg www.example.com
Upload files: Choose On Save
Remote Connection > Manage > Add > Connection name (put one) > FTP
Now add your ftp details. Make sure your Initial directory path is correct, (your website path) so you will not accidentally replace any files from other website in the file manager
Unfortunately there no option on filezilla can auto agree upload when file has been changed.
Mobaxtern can do that. You can choose "always upload" when file has been changed.
You can edit the file with any editor, whenever you save, it will upload.
I like to use WebDrive ($40) which mounts a remote server (S)FTP/SSH/Cloud to a local drive (eg. X: on Windows). You can then just do everything to drive X: as if it's a local drive and WebDrive automatically uploads the changes to the remote server.
I use Notepad++ with its NppFTP plugin. I am required to keep local copies up to date, so I edit the local files then upload them to the server. I'm wondering if there is a way for Notepad++ to automatically upload the file to the server as soon as I save it, without me having to press another button.
I'm open to using other FTP programs but I would rather stick with Notepad++ as the text editor
I know this question is slightly dated, but I would just like to put out there to alleviate future confusion for anyone who tries to find an answer to this question that as far as I know, NppFTP currently does this by default. There is a window beneath the main file view area that informs you of current FTP operations. Dreamweaver has started crapping out on me regularly so I had to find an equally powerful solution; it seems like Notepad++ just might be that!
Instead of trying to do this solely with Notepad++, I've gotten a similar workflow using Filezilla as well.
I set Notepad++ as my default text editor (Edit -> Settings -> File Editing -> Use Custom Editor) in Filezilla.
I can right-click on a local file (in Filezilla) and press "edit". Whenever I save the file in Notepad++, Filezilla detects the difference and prompts me to upload the file.
Will reply back to this post once I can get this process to be completely automatic.
Researching about same problem , i found from the Notepad++ Plugin Manager NppNetNote plugin. It allow you to edit both files at time (Local and remote) wich is like edit local and publish.
Edit: I'm sorry. Mistake. Now that plugin is called NppDocShare, and acts as server/client for a live document. You can edit a file from two locations (Notepad++ executions) at twice, but cannot edit two files nor emulates the autoupload.
I'd try the #Gabriel Ryan Nahmias and he's just RIGHT. The NppFTP plugin does that you wanna, but is a little tricky (obvious when you do) to configure.
By default, the program uses a variable path (Global cache: %CONFIGDIR%\Cache\%USERNAME%#%HOSTNAME%) to store the local copy that is uploaded at save. You need to create a pair folder when create a ftp CONNECTION PROFILE to say to NppFTP plugin how you wanna threat the file/connection. Otherwise, the ftp file goes to global.
Once the profile is created, i.e; C:\myfolder\ vs / (/ is relative to ftp) any file Edited or Created will be created/autouploaded to FTP at save. Also, you can open the FTP file, and it will be threated as the local one. Untill you save that, the real local file is not overwritten. If you dont like the file from FTP, simply close file and open from the local folder. So, you can chose which document wanna edit at start :)
Works Like Magic. Now im in love with Notepad++ :)
Extra: The subfolder creation is not magic. This only works from FTP to Local. You can edit a file from FTP subfolder and the folder plus file will be reproduced into local. No way to create from Local to FTP. You must create the ftp subfolder by hand :X (Unexpected)
You can manage files by two ways. Creating a profile per folder/proyect or create multiple local cache directories to a single profile. BUT, only the first one will be available (You will reorder it on each use). No magic here :( and it's more easy to create profiles and choose from the droplist at connect.
Anyway, i think the NppFTP is doing the things very well.
I had the same problem. Solved updating the NppFTP plugin to the latest stable version.
Cheers!
For our intraNET we need to run application, when user clicks on link. Security is done another way (apache, firewall). This is only for users in our company. Operation system is WindowsXP+ (some Linux).
I tried link to script file (http://intranet.domain.com/run.bat):
Chrome
can't change mimetype
browser downloads it, and after doubleclick and warning it works with .bat
Opera
with mimetypes tunning, it works with .lnk file, immediatly after click
Firefox
with mimetypes tunning, it works with .lnk file, immediatly after click
Explorer
.bat file works after warning and click on 'Run'
Safari
.bat file works after warning and click on 'Run'
It works, but with warnings and clicking. Maybe there are some other solutions (i read here) using AIR2 plugin or NPAPI plugin, but i have no experiences.
I am looking for ready to use plugin written for this purpose (commercial too). Of course we can install any application/plugin on client computer. Plugin which i can render on webpage and configure to run some command with parameters on click event (command and parameters could change on every page load, can not be compiled in plugin).
I know, there are some questions on this topic, but.. i did not find good solution. Thank you for any help.
All those warnings are there for a reason! If you could run a batch file in this way without warning this would be a huge security risk.
The best way to get this to work would be to write a signed ActiveX control that users download to their PC, install (which would require that the user confirm that they wish to install the control) and then have the ActiveX control run the batch file. This would then allow the ActiveX control to run batch files without prompting the user, however is probably way more hassle than its worth for a one-off action.
