Where are my files transferred?
Files are transferred on the remote host selected as the main target in the Sourcesync Configurations combo box. Sourcesync Pro keeps the remote project structure similar to the local one, except the project’s base path which will be replaced on the remote target with the Workspace configuration value.
For example, say the Workspace remote path is configured to /home/ifaur/workspace, and your local project is placed in C:\\Users\\ifaur\\IdeaProjects\\my-awesome-project
then a local file placed in src\\main\\kotlin\\com\\mypackage\\MyFile.kt will be transferred to /home/ifaur/workspace/my-awesome-project/src/main/kotlin/com/mypackage/MyFile.kt
Where are the sync configurations stored?
Sourcesync Pro keeps sync configurations per project, and it stores its data in the project’s .idea/sourcesyncpro.xml
Where are passwords and certificate passphrases stored?
Sourcesync Pro makes use of IntelliJ’s own credential store framework to securely save sensitive data. IntelliJ IDEA does not have its own password store. It uses either the native password management system or KeePass.
There are errors when trying to load or persist sync configurations. What do I do next?
You can simply remove .idea/sourcesyncpro.xml from the project’s folder and restart IntelliJ. You will have to reconfigure your sync targets.
Is Sourcesync still maintained?
Yes, Sourcesync is still under active development, it will continue to be a free and open source version. Hoewever the more adavanced features will be found only in Sourcesync Pro.
