There are the following main ways to have the local files uploaded to the target host:

Besides uploading files, you can also have PhpStorm download files that were deployed according to the default server configuration.

In this section:

To upload files or folders manually
  1. Choose Tools | Deployment on the main menu.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To run the upload according to the default configuration, choose Upload to <default server configuration>.
    • To run the upload according to a specific configuration, choose Upload to. Then from the pop-up menu, select the server configuration that defines access to the required host
To have application sources uploaded automatically before application start

When working on a PHP application, you can have its sources automatically uploaded to a remote host every time you run the application or initiate a debugging session from PhpStorm.

  1. During creation of a run/debug configuration, select the Upload Files to Remote Host check box in the Before launch area.
  2. Click the Browse button browseButton.png next to the check box. In the Upload to Remote Host dialog box that opens, specify the following:
    • The server configuration to access the required host.
    • The local root folders to upload. All the folders and files under the specified roots will be uploaded.
To have PhpStorm upload changed files automatically

PhpStorm considers a local file changed as soon as it is saved either automatically or manually. PhpStorm performs automatic save on a regular scheduled basis. Manual save is invoked by choosing File | Save All on the main menu or pressing Ctrl+SCtrl+S.

  1. Open the Options dialog box by doing one of the following:
  2. In the Upload changed files automatically to the default server drop-down list, specify when you want PhpStorm to upload changed files:
    • To have PhpStorm upload any saved file no matter whether the save was invoked manually or automatically, choose Always.
    • To have PhpStorm upload only files that were saved manually, choose On explicit save action.
To have PhpStorm upload newly checked in files immediately after commit
  1. Start checking in your changes.
  2. In the After Commit area, choose the target remote host from the Upload file to drop-down list. Choose one of the existing server access configuration or create a new one: click the Browse button browseButton.png and configure access to the relevant remote host in the Deployment dialog box that opens.
  3. To have PhpStorm automatically upload checked in files to the chosen remote host, select the Always use selected server check box.
To suppress automatic upload

  2. From the Upload changed files automatically to the default server drop-down list, choose Never.
