RSync on save in VIM

Question

I\'m looking for a way to map the :w command so that when I use it, it will rsync the current directory and save the file in question. Ideally, the response generated by the rsy

If you want to keep the local copy, then the BufWritePost autocmd suggested by viraptor is the best bet, but assuming you have the netrw plugin installed (part of the default Vim runtime files), you can also start vim with:

vim rsync://myrsync_server.com/path

and just edit the file as if it's local: saves will update the remote server.
