Does there exist software that...

Sure. sshfs on Linux, ExpanDrive on Windows. Makes it look just like any other directory. I use both of them daily.

Cheers

Why don't you use its synchronise facility? I find that is pretty effective provided you add a few rules to avoid moving 'Doze specific dross and various rubble left by untidy applications.

The re can be issues with filenames if your host is a Unix server and your web editor is Dozy. On Unix unix, uNix, unIx are all unique files.

Not sure about your OS, but have a look at

ExpanDrive: Co-o-o-ol! I think

Got it! Yep, it IS co-o-o-ol! Just had to wade my way thru all that obscure Eunuchs syntax >:-} ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine.     Sometimes I even put it in the food.

What's Thompson on about again? That's exactly what I already do:

But then, I run my own web server. ;-)

OOoooh.._THAT_ would be ultra neat.

FileZilla works great on Windows. It's free, open source, claims to support Mac OS X and Linux as well.

This is strange. You have always been able to set the initial starting directories under the "startup" settings for each site local and remote folders. And you can view the tree by clicking on the folders icon.

I don't see why you are struggling it is all there in TFM.

WS_FPT Pro has been able to do what you want and more for ages (possibly at least a decade) including synchronising a pair of directory structures on different platforms automagically.

For pain free updates the synchronise website thing is a doddle! (in the subdirectory "Utilities" - bet you have never looked in it)

ExpanDrive has no "TFM". My problem was simply one of not knowing Eunuchs directory notation.

Seems I have WSFTP (1995 :-)

The oldest I have installed is v7.62 ca 2002 build They are now on version 12.xx

You really should buy new software at least once per decade!

Sometimes there are genuine improvements - real user benefits as opposed to extra buggy features for marketing to play tick box with. (the ambiguity is deliberate - always avoid newly released software)

Software wears in with use unlike hardware which wears out.

Smirk! I still have one PC running Win2K >:-}

Only if the programmers fix bugs rather than adding new ones.

These are my opinions.  I hate spam.

Statistics are about 50:50 for removing a bug and not adding a new one.

I will concede that is lamentable, but it is unfortunately *TRUE*.
