AppCode 2021.2 Help

Deployment

On this page, create, edit, and delete server access configurations and server groups that give you control over interaction between AppCode and servers. Anytime you are going to use a server, you need to define a server access configuration, no matter whether your server is on a remote host or on your computer. See Configure synchronization with a Web server for details on working with server access configurations and for details on working with server groups.

Toolbar icons and context menu commands

Use the toolbar buttons and context menu commands to manage the list of configurations and server groups.

The left-hand pane shows a list of all the server access configurations and server groups available in AppCode. When you select an item, the right-hand pane shows the configuration details.

Click this button and select the desired item from the list to define a new configuration or server group. The following options are available:

  • FTP: choose this option to have AppCode access the server via the FTP file transfer protocol.

  • SFTP: choose this option to have AppCode access the server via the SFTP file transfer protocol.

  • FTPS: choose this option to have AppCode access the server via the FTP file transfer protocol over SSL (the FTPS extension).

  • Local or mounted folder: choose this option if the Web server is running in a local or a mounted folder and its document root is NOT the parent of the project root.

  • In place: choose this option if the Web server is running on your computer, your project is under its document root, and you do your development directly on the server.

  • Server group: choose this option to create a server group, which lets you group server configurations together and work with them as with a single entity. See for details.
