upload only current file with netbeans

Question

I'm using netbeans 6.9.1 to work on a php project, how do I manually upload a file without having to 'run' the project?

Answer 1

Under the options->keymap, I mapped Ctrl-L to upload, which is easy enough.

The only other place to upload is to right-click the file in the project browser and 'upload', unlike aptana there's no button for it, which is what got me stumped.

Answer 2

If you have the project's "Run Configuration" properly configured as a "Remote Web Site (FTP, SFTP)", then simply right-click on the file in the "Projects" pane and click on "Upload" in the file's context menu.

If you want to upload automatically on save instead of on run,

• Right-click on the project node in the "Projects" pane (it's the top-most node in the tree)
• Click on "Properties" in the project's context menu.
• Click on "Run Configuration" in "Categories"
• Change "Upload Files" to "On Save"
• Click "OK"

If you sometimes want to upload on run, sometimes on save, sometimes only manually, sometimes to one server, sometimes to another server, or any combination of the run configuration options, then you can click on the "New..." button to create and save one or more run configurations. You can then choose which one is active on the run configurations project properties page, or set it through "Set Configuration..." on the project's context menu.
