As you can see it here: http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=255082 I created a similar ticket for HTML5 Projects. So this feature should be build in as for PHP projects. Often you have to work remote and for PHP it is so easy, for HTML5 Projects, JS projects and/or NodeJS projects it is not, because it is not implemented. So I expect the same functionality for NodeJS and JS projects in general as for PHP projects with Download, Upload, Sync, set FTP/SFTP and upload on save or manually, etc. There is a plugin called Remote File System, it is ok but such feature should be a built it.
