File Residence

The File Residence submenu allows you to designate a file as server-only, client-only, or client-server (the default).    

 

-  If a file is client-only, it is never copied to the server (unless you perform the FTP Action -- Put All Files to Server).

-  If a file is server-only, it is never copied to the client (unless you perform the FTP Action -- Get All Files from Server). Server-only files cannot be edited in the NetBeans editor.  

By default, the following extensions are server-only for an FTP filesystem:

ana, bck, esw, exe, lis, mlb, nlb, obj,olb, pcsi, pen, r32, req, stb, tif, tlb, uid

You can modify this list of extensions by selecting the FTP filesystem in Filesystems, then right clicking and selecting Properties.  Select the Server Only File Extensions property and modify it using the Chooser button […].
