SSH/SCP Support

[vtmoren]

Are there any plans to provide SSH/SCP/FTP Support?

No plan on my side :)

In which case, I suggest you rename your module localsynchronizer. I had asssumed that with the word remote in the title, it should at least be able to synchronise remotely! Am I missing something!

+1, either ssh/scp should be the main functionality, or the plugin should be renamed to something else. Remote means REMOTE, copying from one disk to another (which concept does not even exist on Mac/Linux) is called LOCAL

I guess from the perspective of disk 1, disk 2 is kinda remote. I guess it depends on how long the SATA lead is!!! :)

I'd pay for a module that provides remote sync via rsync.

These statements where people explain what things they don't own should be 🙄

We have obviously different perspectives for the word "remote", I respect yours, please respect mine. IDEs are not network-oriented tools, IntelliJ is focused on a project context, and "remote" means here "outside your project context".

Feel free to copy and rename this 15yo plugin if you have any issue with the naming.

Cheers 🙂

I only commented in the first place as the name "remotesynchronizer", and the associated blurb that came with the module, raised certain expectations on what I would find within. I'm also sorry that your and IntelliJ's definition of remote is different to the remaining 99.9% of the world. I was just annoyed as it wasted 5 minutes of my otherwise wonderfully exciting life trying to work out where the "remote server" configuration details were.

I don't think you can blame anyone for not knowing that "remote" actually means "local, but not part if your project".
