Syncronize on save

Question

Is there any extension or easy way to configure a feature like the Visual Code Studio's extension SSFTP?

The ideal behaviour should be like the following one, by using ftp or sftp:

Allow a manual request for sync remote -> local a full folder or just a specific file (or set of files). Preferabily, if some local file is not in the remote folder, the remote file must not be removed.
Allow a manual request for sync local -> remote.
Allow a sync-on-save feature to make a local -> remote syncronization each time a file is saved. Ideally, that synchronization must be done even if there is no local changes to save (the sync must be always done).
It should be possible to config the syncronization by using passwords or ssh keys, with or without a passphrase.

I use Emacs with `rsync` to manually synchronize certain files/folders recursively (with some exclusions) to my website on a shared server in cyberspace, and to my jailbroken iphone over usb, and to/from my desktop and 3 laptop computers over a network. I see the manual describes several standard hooks such as `after-save-hook` .... perhaps there is a built-in hook that suits your needs. Emacs may have some built-in synchronization that I am unaware of. Here is the link to a basic setup using Emacs and `rsync` to manually synchronize: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/5844/2287 — lawlist, Sep 01 '19 at 16:37

shadowfile.el could help. Note, that it cooperates with Tramp since Emacs 26.2 only.
