Is there any extension or easy way to configure a feature like the Visual Code Studio's extension SSFTP?

The ideal behaviour should be like the following one, by using ftp or sftp:

  • Allow a manual request for sync remote -> local a full folder or just a specific file (or set of files). Preferabily, if some local file is not in the remote folder, the remote file must not be removed.

  • Allow a manual request for sync local -> remote.

  • Allow a sync-on-save feature to make a local -> remote syncronization each time a file is saved. Ideally, that synchronization must be done even if there is no local changes to save (the sync must be always done).

  • It should be possible to config the syncronization by using passwords or ssh keys, with or without a passphrase.

  • I use Emacs with rsync to manually synchronize certain files/folders recursively (with some exclusions) to my website on a shared server in cyberspace, and to my jailbroken iphone over usb, and to/from my desktop and 3 laptop computers over a network. I see the manual describes several standard hooks such as after-save-hook .... perhaps there is a built-in hook that suits your needs. Emacs may have some built-in synchronization that I am unaware of. Here is the link to a basic setup using Emacs and rsync to manually synchronize: emacs.stackexchange.com/a/5844/2287

  • @lawlist The server is a very old AIX without rsync.

shadowfile.el could help. Note, that it cooperates with Tramp since Emacs 26.2 only.
