Files on your PC to the server

Here's what we have so far.

Sync local and remote files

You can work in a folder on your PC, then upload the entire folder to your server. One thing to keep in mind: use nice file names. Lowercase, no spaces.

We can make it even better, though. We can open the local folder in Atom, make subfolders, HTML files, etc. We can do (almost) all of the work in Atom, then drag the entire folder to the server. Nice!

  • Upload everything at once with FileZilla
  • Behold the magic on the server

We'll talk more about Atom later in the course. Feel free to play around with it, though
