use {'sotvokun/lftp-sync.nvim'}To make the FTP workflow comfortable, this plugin inspired by VSCode extension SFTP and Sublime Text package FTPSync.
Use :LftpSyncConfig to open the configuration file, or create it if it does not exist. The configuration file path is defined in g:lftp_sync_config_path; lftp-sync will check the file whether readable to make the "sync" commands useable.
More about the configuration file, you could read document lftp-sync-configuration.
When your configuring is done, the best practice is using :LftpSyncDownloadAll to download the whole project to the local.
Then edit your files, you can choose :LftpSyncUploadAll to upload whole project into remote, or :LftpSyncUpload to upload the file which you are editing to remote.
:LftpSyncDownload and :LftpSyncUpload can take one argument that which file or directory, to download from remote, or to upload to remote.
More about the commands, you could read document lftp-sync-commands
Using FTP to synchronize the working progression is a weird behaviour in the modern development work. If you are unfortunate as me, working in a company that using the unpopular workflow, I am very glad to accept your pull request.
