Hey. I had such a problem. I decided to install it with the old version (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/publishers/lukasz-wronski/vsextensions/ftp-sync/0.3.5/vspackage)

Do not forget to disable auto-update extensions.

Looks like it's a similar issue to #154 . A workaround there is to populate the array inside "generatedFiles" in ftp-sync.json, and it works, in my case, for things like ".js", ".php" ... the down-side, for me, being that I can't figure out what to put there for files with NO extension ... :(

[felix007]

Thank you wolfcreative for the link of the old version!
now it's working again.
can you tell me how to find links to older versions of extensions? this will be a great future saver.

dalecosp, i have the right settings and it's not saving after the 0.3.7 update.
see how i"m using the details in the jason file.

"ignore": [
"\.vscode",
"\.git",
"\.DS_Store"
],
"generatedFiles": {
"uploadOnSave": true,
"extensionsToInclude": [".php", ".css", ".js", ".scss", ".css.map"],
"path": ""
}

[wolfcreative]

@felix007 i will explain step by step:

1. Open the extension page in the marketplace.
2. Find the right version in the "Version history".
3. Go back up and find the "Download Extension" button (the joke is that this is not a link, wtf MS).
4. In the browser downloads menu, click on the extension with the right mouse button and "copy link" (I work through firefox).

What to do next makes no sense to explain.

@wolfcreative thank you very much!

[ithan1985]

the best way is reinstall vscode to fix the problem

[felix007]

first thing iv"e done. doesn't work for me.

[GASOLINE]

Also stopped working here. Disappointing. Hope it will be fixed because this is a really nice extension and feature. Don't know why MS does not include it as a standard feature in VSC.

Please check the latest version for a fix #268. It should be working now

@dalecosp If you want to include a file with no extension you simply add empty "" to the extensionsToInclude array. There is kind of a downside to it tho, because adding "" also makes you include files with all extensions.

[felix007]

@NajSurf i"m not sure what to do. updated to 0.3.7 still upload on save not working. deleted extension and installed fresh no change.
do i need to install a different version?

[NajSurf]

I've just published new fixed version to the marketplace. generatedFiles was messing with uploadOnSave function. Now both functions work as planned and the problem is not occuring anymore. I'll check soon if it uploads properly when files are generated automatically by application.

Also you can check the latest merge for more info #269

[felix007]

It's working again!
@NajSurf Thank you for the best vs extension!

[NajSurf]

That is very good to hear :)

[felix007]

Hi @NajSurf their is still a bug that is not uploading files from css folder = css/style.css files that are generated from scss.
when i install 0.3.5 it is working great.
can you check that?
Thank you

my json file is
{
"remotePath": "remote path",
"host": "host name",
"username": "user",
"password": "password",

"path": "" <---- here you should provide the path to the place where generated files are, if u set this to your root folder/workspace folder then it should upload every file in it. If it's not set it wont work. I think this can be the problem.
}
}

[felix007]

all the files when saved are being uploaded.. including - file.scss
only the .css files that are generated into css folder are not uploaded.
every thing worked and still working in 0.3.5.

[NajSurf]

I'll try to reproduce it when I have some free time.

[felix007]

Thank you

[NajSurf]

Please download latest version from this github repository and check if that worked for you.

[felix007]

I"ll be happy to do so but i don't know how ):
to download the zip file and change the extension to vsix?

[NajSurf]

1. Download zip
2. Unpack it
3. Go to .vscode/extensions - ".vscode" is a hidden folder
4. Replace the ftp sync folder with the folder inside of the unpacked folder

[felix007]

Great it's working again!
thank you

[NajSurf]

Great :) I'll leave the issue open for couple more days if any problem occures again.

[dalecosp]

Confirm, working here as well. Thank you.

}
}

If i set path like /build it works, but only for that folder. Than my other files in / are ignored. Confusing.
