I have a Netbeans PHP project set to run on a local server. I added some files in the filesystem; Netbeans detects and shows the changes in it's project view, but does not propagate the changes to the local server (based in a different folder). Hence project files on the local server are missing or out of date.
Can Netbeans manually refresh the project files on local server?
Basically you need to disable ‘Enable auto-scanning of sources’ checkbox under: Tools -> Options -> Miscellaneous -> Files. After you do this, the ‘Refresh Folder’ option will appear.
I think you can use Menu->Source->Scan For External Changes (if I understand you correctly)
Source->Scan For External Changes
