When it’s time to move my shiny new web site to the WWW, it would be nice if I could just select a top level folder in FileZilla and let 'er rip. However, if I do that right now I’d get the \_pgbackup folder (or folders in earlier versions) the .json file, and the \_notes folder - maybe more. (Same for uploading extensive updates, except I can specify “only newer files”.) Dreamweaver has a feature that lets you mark files you don’t want to move (it’s been so long since I’ve used it, I forget what it’s called!) but that won’t work unless Pinegrow does the FTP, and I don’t think anyone wants it to grow into a behemoth that does everything, so maybe you could put all of these into a separate folder: project folder pinegrow bits folder bits I want to upload folder Many Thanks! -David ---

Hey David - yes this can be annoying! I also use Filezilla and are you using bookmarks? After I click the relevant bookmark, I left click the left hand panel, ctrl + a, hold down the ctrl button and left click the folders you don’t want uploaded (so they aren’t selected) and then let the files fly! 🙂 ---

Jack - I’m using Filezilla in a very basic way. I always used Dreamweaver in the past, and that pretty much baby-sat the whole upload process! Since I discovered Pinegrow, I needed another way to upload, and I haven’t really looked to see what else is available except for storing the credentials to log into my sites, drag and drop, and the duplicate file processing. I know how to select which files to upload, it’s just a hassle remembering which ones to exclude. I’ll have to find out what you mean by bookmarks! ---

Well at least you made the right choice with the best FTP software and the best Front-End Development software on the market! As for bookmarks, they are a nice way of quickly updating your website and while I’m sure you don’t need me to explain in full, here is the quick guide! Visit the main menu-bar, next to **Server** you will see **Bookmarks** - browse down to **Manage bookmarks** Next click **Site-specific Bookmarks** then **New Bookmark** - now give the bookmark a name. Click **Browse** - find the local folder of your website Then click **Remote Directory** and copy and paste the directory where your website is going to be uploaded, normally /public\_html/ or /public\_html/yourdomain.com Then in future you simply find your bookmark from the bookmark drop down menu and it loads your local directory in the left panel and remote directory right panel! ---

Thanks for the great help. I needed a little push to make my workflow a little more efficient! I didn’t see “Site-specific Bookmarks” at first because I wasn’t connected to a remote site, but I worked that out. So this is great for where you have multiple sites under a single hosted site - the ftp connects to the main site and the bookmark brings the local and remote structures up to match each other - fantastic!
