Uploading to test site & live site #233

When making changes on my local files I want them to auto save and upload to the clients TEST version of the application so the client can approve the changes before they then get uploaded to the LIVE site.

This involves 2 different FTP remote locations lets say:

httpdocs/live/app httpdocs/test/app

Can your module accomodate this? I see some of the other vscode modules allow for an array of connections to be setup in the config file.

This could lead into difficulties as there would be "multiple sources of truth". Syncing between all the different environments could cause files to be accidentally deleted depending on which source is considered the master. I think this plugin is great since it's does one thing, and does it well. My vote would be to keep migrating code live to be a more rigorous process, rather than rely on a ftp-sync tool.
