Customize upload and downloadUltimate

Besides the mandatory settings that ensure successful upload and download in various project – server setups, you can configure additional options to customize the interaction with the server. Most of these options apply to all server access configuration types. For FTP, FTPS, and SFTP server configurations, you can specify additional protocol-specific options.
Set common upload and download options
In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, select Build, Execution, Deployment | Deployment | Options.
Specify additional settings:
To skip specific files or entire folders during upload and download, in the Exclude items by name field, specify the patterns that define the names of these files and folders.
Use semicolons
;
as delimiters, asterisks*
to match zero or more characters, and question marks?
to match a single character.For example, if you have a folder stylesheets with three files style.css, style1.css, and style2.scss, then
style*
excludes the entire folder,style?.css
excludes style.css, andstyle?.*
excludes style1.css and style2.scss.Learn more from Regular-Expressions.info.
The exclusion is applied recursively. This means that if a matching folder has subfolders, the contents of these subfolders are not deployed either.
For more information, see Exclude files and folders from uploading and downloading.
Specify the details of the upload and download procedure by selecting or clearing the corresponding checkboxes.
Specify additional protocol-specific customization options
In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, select Build, Execution, Deployment | Deployment.
Select a configured server and expand the Advanced group to specify additional uploading settings that depend on the protocol:
SFTPFTPFTPSSelect the Concurrent connections limit checkbox to have IntelliJ IDEA restrict the number of connections to be supported simultaneously and specify the maximum number of allowed connections in the field.
In the Send keep alive messages each field, specify how often you want IntelliJ IDEA to send commands to the server to reset the timeout and thus preserve the connection.
In the Encoding for client-server communication field, specify the encoding that matches the encoding used by your server. Accept the default value if you are not sure that it supports UTF-8 encoding.
On some SFTP servers, the SSH banner may be enabled. Every time a connection is established, a popup with an information message may be shown and to continue you would need to click OK.
To suppress showing the information popup, select the Ignore info messages checkbox.
