upload file and all its references (if changed)

[chk1xn]

Hi,

I'm completely new to Visual Studio Code so sorry if this is a silly Q. I'm aware I might simply be missing something obvious, so please bear with me...

I've installed SFTP to be able to upload files to the various web spaces I'm using from various ISPs.
Coming from Dreamweaver I got used to a handy option that would ask if I'd like to upload any dependent files along with the one I'm about to transfer. This included all files types that are referenced within that file, eg any css, js, pdf, images etc.

I've scanned thru the documentation of VSC and SFTP but haven't found an answer yet. Is this something that can be accomplished with the "sync" option or the "file watcher"? but I have a feeling "sync" only works with Github? and the "file watcher" only checks if local files have been modified outside of VSC?

Thanks for any hints/tips/pointers...
