+# MTC Sync Script
+
+A bash automation tool for synchronizing project files from a remote server to your local machine with automatic VS Code SFTP configuration.
+
+## Overview
+
+**MTC Sync Script** streamlines the process of downloading and setting up projects from remote servers. It automates:
+- Creating compressed archives on the remote server
+- Downloading files via SCP
+- Extracting and organizing files locally
+- Configuring VS Code for SFTP development
+
+Perfect for developers working with remote projects who want a fast, one-command setup experience.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ **Interactive Setup** - Simple prompts for server and local paths
+- ✅ **Automated Sync** - Compress, download, and extract in one command
+- ✅ **VS Code Integration** - Auto-generates SFTP configuration
+- ✅ **Error Checking** - Validates each step with helpful error messages
+- ✅ **Cleanup** - Removes temporary files automatically
+- ✅ **Colored Output** - Clear status messages with color coding
+
+## Requirements
+
+### System Dependencies
+- **Bash** shell
+- **SSH/SCP** - Secure shell commands (usually pre-installed on macOS/Linux)
+- **sshpass** - Password-based SSH authentication tool
+- **tar** - Archive/compression utility (pre-installed)
+
+### Installation of Dependencies
+
+**macOS** (using Homebrew):
+```bash
+brew install sshpass
+```
+
+**Ubuntu/Debian**:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install sshpass openssh-client
+```
+
+**CentOS/RHEL**:
+```bash
+sudo yum install sshpass openssh-clients
+```
+
+### Server Requirements
+- SSH access to the remote server
+- Project files in a known folder path (e.g., `~/public_leo`)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+1. **Make the script executable** (if needed):
+   ```bash
+   chmod +x sync-project.sh
+   ```
+
+2. **Run the script**:
+   ```bash
+   ./sync-project.sh
+   ```
+
+3. **Answer the prompts**:
+   - **Server address**: Enter your server credentials (e.g., `user@server.com` or `leo@192.168.1.100`)
+   - **Server project path**: Path where your project is stored on the server (e.g., `~/public_leo`)
+   - **Local folder**: Where you want to download the project (e.g., `./my_project`)
+   - **SSH password**: Your password when prompted
+
+### Example Session
+
+```bash
+$ ./sync-project.sh
+
+Enter server address (user@host): leo@myserver.com
+Enter server project path: ~/public_leo
+Enter local folder path: ./my_project
+[System will prompt for SSH password]
+
+✓ Archive created successfully
+✓ File transfer complete
+✓ Extraction complete
+✓ VS Code SFTP config created
+```
+
+## What the Script Does
+
+1. **Connects to Remote Server** - Uses SSH to authenticate with password or key
+2. **Creates Archive** - Compresses project files into `tar.gz` format on server
+3. **Downloads Archive** - Uses SCP to securely copy archive to local machine
+4. **Extracts Files** - Unpacks the archive to your specified local folder
+5. **Cleans Up** - Removes temporary archive files
+6. **Configures VS Code** - Creates `.vscode/sftp.json` for seamless SFTP workflow
+
+## VS Code SFTP Configuration
+
+The script automatically generates a `.vscode/sftp.json` file with:
+- **Auto-upload on save** - Changes sync to server immediately
+- **Pre-configured ignore patterns** - Excludes common folders:
+  - `node_modules/`
+  - `vendor/`
+  - `storage/`
+  - `.vscode/`
+  - `.git/`
+  - And others...
+
+This allows you to continue developing locally and have changes automatically uploaded to the remote server.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The script includes error checking at each step:
+- ✓ Validates SSH connection
+- ✓ Checks if remote path exists
+- ✓ Verifies archive creation
+- ✓ Confirms successful download and extraction
+- ✓ Exits gracefully with error messages if anything fails
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "sshpass: command not found"
+Install sshpass using the commands above for your OS.
+
+### "SSH connection refused"
+- Verify server address is correct
+- Check that SSH is enabled on the server
+- Confirm your username and password
+
+### "Remote path not found"
+- Verify the server project path is correct
+- Ensure the path exists on the server
+- Check user permissions
+
+### "Local folder already exists"
+The script will still sync, but existing files will be overwritten. Back up important files first.
