If I open a folder with sftp/ftp configuration, I wish they would update from webserver

I can not understand. You mean it should auto update from webserver when atom open a folder?

yes, check difference and update local folder from remote

Instead of folders, this seems like it would work better for individual files, like how Sublime SFTP does it. If 'download on open' is enabled, it checks if the file on the server has a newer modification date than the local file, and if it does downloads it.

This way you avoid problems from trying to decide what counts as "opening" a folder in Atom, since it's a file tree.

Yes, +1 on the Sublime SFTP reference. This is the main thing keeping me from using Atom at work, which I would love to do.

+1, This would be really useful.

I would like to put in a request for this as well. It's the only thing that's stopping me from switching to Atom from Sublime.

+1, it's a pain if you switch between branches on the server and you forget to download before opening files. Yes, I can sync full project but it's a really nice feature to just have this option :)

+1, I would really like that feature as well
