[rafaelrp]

Possibility to make an ignore list, when i upload an entire folder all files was uploaded, would nice feature to add an ignore list.

can't promise when exactly, but if nobody is working on this, i'd like to take a look at it in June sometime.

I think this ignore list should be per-project (not in the package settings). I had in mind to add a new file .ftpignore similar to the .gitignore that uses the same ignore pattern.

Is this what you had in mind ?

[miclaus]

Yes, I had thoughts in that direction too.

I'm not sure though, how hard it is to implement the same ignore pattern that .gitignore uses.

What's the status on this?
Would be great if it would parse .gitignore and/or a .ftpignore as in #117
Coloring based on differences to local copy and ignored/not would be excellent.

+1 and agreed on .ftpignore following a .gitignore similar syntax would probably be the "least unexpected" approach

[alucidwolf]

+1 on this one as well, would be an awesome feature to ignore, or "cloak" like Dreamweaver does so certain files do not upload when pushing a folder or syncing

Loving Remote-FTP, but the inability to ignore files and folders makes it hard to use it as the only FTP package. Any progress on this?

[4ley]

I would love to have that feature. Created another ticket before discovered this one. #430

I've updated the PR .ftpignore feature from issue #36. That should do the job (for now).
