vim-easy-sync

Fork from 'vim-hsftp' Vim plugin: upload, download and automagically synch remote files just after saving locally (:w), through sftp and rsync.

Usage:

First of all:

• you need to have rsync and a ssh client installed on your machine;
• you have to create a config file called .easync in your project directory.
• the server you connect needs to have a listening ssh connection.

When uploading/downloading, this plugin searches backwards for the .easync file. So, if the edited file is e.g. /test/dir/file.txt and the config file is /test/.hsftp, it will upload/download as dir/file.txt.

The config file should be structured like this (amount of spaces doesn't matter): Be carefull to ALWAYS put the trailing "/" (slash) at the end of each remote path, to avoid rsync problems.

host   1.1.1.1
user   username
pass   ''
port   22
remote /var/www/
confirm_download 0
confirm_upload 0

The "pass" field (password) is not used actually. Only a ssh connection with key-file is contemplated.

Exclude files

To avoid downloading specific files (only works on EdownloadAll), you can create the .exclude file, with the list of file patterns to exclude. The syntax to use is the same of a simple exclude-file as explained in man rsync. If you don't specify any, the deafult excluded files are just the following: .git* .easync .exclude
