intellij-sftp

This allows you to configure a single path on your system that will save to a remote SFTP location whenever you save a file locally.

You can configure it in Preferences > SFTP.

Example properties file:

ssh.host=<your-host>
ssh.password=<your-password>
ssh.src.root=<the-local-root-path>
ssh.port=<the SSH port, usually 22>
ssh.username=<your-username>
ssh.dest.root=<the-destination-root-path>

This file is stored in your home directory as "intellij-sftp.properties".

Logging goes to your home directory as "intellij-sftp.log".

Where to get it:

Either download a version from here

https://github.com/tweissin/intellij-sftp/blob/master/release/base-plugin.zip?raw=true

or configure IntelliJ to allow you to build plugins, and build it.

Then go to IntelliJ > Preferences > Plugins > Install Plugin From Disk > and choose the ZIP file. You will be prompted to restart after installing it.

After installing it, configure it using the Preferences page.

Improvements to make:

• Logging in this release attempts to use log4j, but I haven't worked it out completely yet.
  So for now, the log is located in your homedir as intellij-sftp.log

• What is logged needs to be cleaned up.

• It would be nice to be able to sync both directions, or sync the entire directory structure.

• Settings could be stored in the workspace instead of in the home directory.

• Add support for SSH key file instead of password.

• Make it work on Windows.
