[jira] Commented: (FOR-392) deploy of deleted files

["Diwaker Gupta (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Diwaker Gupta commented on FOR-392:
-----------------------------------

I'm not sure if this is the "correct" behavior -- atleast I disagree. I don't want the deploy to EVER touch any existing files on a remote host. Yes, having a configurable option helps.

Was there a feature request for this? Do users miss this feature? If not, I would close this issue. A specialized protocol like rsync is really the best of doing such a thing. And unless Forresbot has access to some rsync implementation, with the existing deploy targets (scp, ftp, with the exception of svn) this is probably non-trivial to implement. I'm not saying this is a reason not to pursue this, but just want to make sure we understand the cost-benefits of the issue.

> Investigate what happens when you delete a file, and then deploy your site.  All deploy implementations should probably delete the remote file, if possible.  Maybe make it configurable whether it is to be deleted or not.
