Description (last modified by )
Very often I edit a file via "edit file" in filezilla.
When I test something (maybe php script) I have to enter the filezilla window to confirm "upload the file" every time I would like to test the script / after I saved it locally.
it is not comfortable because it costs a lot of time.
please add a function/option called "automatically upload files when edited/saved locally" or something like that to make working with filezilla easier.

Hi !
Thanks for answer.
Other FTP progs like SmartFTP can do this, so I thought there would be a possibility for Filezilla also.
I have knowledge in Delphi and I think:
I can see that I file has been changed (new file date/time)
if -> I can test if my program (Filezilla) can read the file (if not, the file is being written by another prog)
if -> If my program can read the file, I can upload it
possible way ?

Technically not possible. Since there is no reliable way to detect when a program has finished writing, automatic upload could lead to data corruption. Thus it is the user's responsibility to confirm the transfer.
