Description
Thanks for creating this package. I'm using it to upload files to my server when I'm deploying my site.
I've found that it takes longer and longer to deploy the files as the amount of files on my project grows. Is there a way to perhaps skip uploading files that are already on the server and that haven't changed? I'd imagine this would cut down on the files being uploaded and would make deployments a lot faster.
This may be out of the scope of the package, but just wanted to ask to see if anyone had any ideas or information on how they usually handle this case.
Thanks in advance!
