Access files on servers

Once you have set up synchronization between your local application sources and the application sources on a server, you can upload and download files as well as compare files and folders on the server with their local versions, edit local versions and even edit individual non-project files on the server.

You can also create, move, rename, and delete files and folders on the server.
