guard-autoupload

Autoupload plugin used for uploading all local changes to remote host. Uses either SFTP or FTP.

Usage

Sample guardfile:

opts = {
    :protocol => :scp,        # Protocol used to connect to remote host.
                              # Possible values are :scp, :sftp and :ftp.
                              # Of these :scp is the preferred one for
                              # its stability.
    :host => "remote_host",
    # :port => 22,            # Uncomment this if you need to set port to
                              # something else than default.
    :user => "username",
    :password => "password",
    :remote => "remote_path",
    :verbose => false,        # if true you get all outputs
    :quiet => false           # if true outputs only on exceptions.
}

guard :autoupload, opts do
    watch(/^((?!Guardfile$).)*$/)
    # Matches every other file but Guardfile. This way we don't
    # accidentally upload the credentials.
end
