If you want to know the difference between the local file list and the corresponding directory file list on the remote machine, you can click "Command->Compare Directory", then the software will automatically highlight the latest files on the local or server, and you will know which files are new. Then you can synchronize manually, or use "Command->Synchronize" to achieve automatic synchronization.

​​ 2. Call your favorite editor to directly edit files on the server

If you want to quickly modify the files on the server and do not want to save the files repeatedly and then upload the files manually, you can try to directly right-click the file that needs to be modified in the file list of the server, and then click the "Edit" button. At this time, the text editor that comes with winscp will be called by default to edit your file. When you click save, you do not need to upload it manually. winscp will monitor the save event of the file and then upload it automatically.

If you want to call your favorite editor to edit files, such as editplus, notepad++, etc., you can make personalized settings and click "Options->Options->Editor" to set the editor you want here.

By default, winscp will create a temporary copy of the file you edit in the temporary directory of Windows. You can also modify the directory where this temporary file is placed, which can be set in "Options->Options->Storage".

Note: After editing the file on the server, don’t forget to drag it down to the local svn directory

3. Synchronous browsing function

When you need to upload local files to the server, you may first open the local directory, and then go to the server directory on the right to open the corresponding directory. Then when switching the local directory, you also go to the server on the right to switch to the corresponding directory. If you really do this, then you are behind the times.

Winscp has a "synchronous browsing" function. As the name suggests, it realizes synchronous browsing of the local directory and the server directory. When you switch to the a directory on the left, the server file window on the right will automatically switch to the a directory, saving you the trouble of manual switching.

To achieve synchronous browsing, you first need to set the local and server directories to be the same. The paths can be different, but the list of subdirectories needs to be roughly the same. For example, "coreinclude" is on the left and "/core/include" is on the right. Then click "Command -> Synchronous Browsing". At this time, when you switch directories in one window, the other window will automatically switch to the corresponding directory.
