Description Christian Lenz 2015-03-02 21:53:24 UTC 
I have a PHP project based on a remote server. I do a synchronization via safe, everything is fine. Now I added a gulp file via npm install gulp to a directory and the problem is, that node_modules now synchronize with the remote host.

First, I would like to cancel the synchronization and second, I would like to set those folder to ignore. Via the context menu, I didn't find anything about that.


Cheers,

Chris

Might be nice to include node_modules in the default ignore pattern since gulp and grunt are moving into netbeans... but just in case anyone comes across this, or the OP hasn't found a solution yet...

Go to "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Miscellaneous" and add node_modules to "Ignored Files Pattern" text box...

Fx:
---
^(CVS|SCCS|vssver.?\.scc|#.*#|%.*%|_svn|node_modules)$|~$|^\.(?!(htaccess|git.+|hgignore)$).*$
---

This prevents the folder from showing in the project explorer (don't know if that is desirable for everyone but for me it is) - and also has the desired effect of not being synced to the remote host (as well as GIT etc. I suppose...?)
