Working with Automatic Upload

Automatic Upload support allows you to automatically and manually save and upload changes to your projects on a local or remote server without going through the process of pushing updates to your server, for example by redeploying, or updating, the application.

This feature is automatically enabled when deploying an application for the first time on your local or remote server, if Development Mode is enabled during the deployment procedure. For more information on this procedure, see Deploying an Application.You can also manually enable this feature from the Automatic Upload Support Properties dialog.

Important!

Using Automatic Upload to automatically save and upload changes to a remote server, will only work on projects with an enabled remote connection (FTP, SSH). For information on creating a remote connection profile, see Adding a Remote Connection Profile.
