Introducing [fup] - Fast uploader
lifeisfoo
✭✭✭
When I'm working on a plugin or a theme I need to upload files very often (every time a feature is completed). Transferring manually using filezilla, plain ssh or ftp can be enough fast, but when you have many and many projects this operation can be painful: remember remote user, remember remote path, remember to exclude some files...
FUP
Fup is a shell script to automate parametric upload ( paths, host, exclude ). By now support only ssh.
Example with vanilla plugin project
This is a .fup file for a plugin that I'm developing for a customer, placed inside the plugin directory /home/lifeisfoo/dev/plugins/my-plugin
SSH_USR_HOST=user@example.com SSH_PORT=65100 REMOTE_DIR=public_html/plugins EXCLUDED_DIRS=compiler EXCLUDED_FILES=js/compiled.js
When I launch fup from the plugin directory, the entire directory is uploaded to user@example.com:public_html/plugins. If the remote dir public_html/plugins/my-plugin doesn't exists it will be created. Is fast because the directory is bzipped before upload and extracted on the remote machine.

That is super cool - great job @lifeisfoo! I've personally been using the GitFTP Python script myself (https://github.com/ezyang/git-ftp) whenever I'm deploying Git projects hosted on servers without SSH access. FUP would be a great alternative to GitFTP for projects not under version control - been looking for something like that for quite a while. Thanks!

This is interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Just to share my workflow, I use FileZilla to edit the remote file. When I save, the changes are automatically uploaded to my remote host. Works a treat for testing on 'production intent' servers.

FireFtp also does this, but I don't like the idea of local copy getting out of sync, except for minor conf. It is better to have some sync routine.
ssh based script is the way to go.
grep is your friend.
Yes. Also because if you need other command to be executed before upload, this can be achieved easily (compile less, minify/unify/js, auto-commit, etc).
