I'm a web-developer, I'm using win7, but now I want to try ubuntu, I want to ask if is on the ubuntu any software which automatically upload the folder content to the server. For example if I save a file that automatically upload to the server through ftp.
On the windows I'm using Fling
Is there any alternative on ubuntu?
The file manager that comes with Ubuntu, which is called Nautilus, lets you mount a FTP server folder as a Drive. You can then modify the files just as if they were on your computer and as soon as you save them the server copy is updated. (I've never used Fling, but this sounds just like it.) I've used it before with SFTP (basically a secure version of FTP) and it works great for web development.
To do this, just open the file browser and go to the "File" menu and click "Connect to server...". In the window that comes up pick "FTP (with login)" as the services type, enter your details (username, password, server), and click Connect. (If you check Add bookmark and enter a name for it, this server will show in the sidebar of the File Browser so you just click it to connect to the server even after a reboot.)
