VSCode-SFTP enables you to add, edit or delete files within a local directory and have it sync to a remote server directory using different transfer protocols like FTP or SSH. The most basic setup requires only a few lines of configuration with a wide array of specific settings also available to meet the needs of any user. Both powerful and fast, it helps developers save time by allowing the use of a familiar editor and environment.

Usage

If the latest files are already on a remote server, you can start with an empty local folder, then download your project, and from that point sync.

1. In VS Code, open a local directory you wish to sync to the remote server (or create an empty directory that you wish to first download the contents of a remote server folder in order to edit locally).
2. Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac open command palette, run SFTP: config command.
3. A basic configuration file will appear named sftp.json under the .vscode directory, open and edit the configuration parameters with your remote server information.

For instance:

{
    "name": "Profile Name",
    "host": "name_of_remote_host",
    "protocol": "ftp",
    "port": 21,
    "secure": true,
    // "charset": "ascii", // <---- When protocol is "ftp" you can change the charset to ASCII mode
    "username": "username",
    "remotePath": "/public_html/project", // <--- This is the path which will be downloaded if you "Download Project"
    "password": "password",
    "uploadOnSave": false
}

The password parameter in sftp.json is optional, if left out you will be prompted for a password on sync. Note： backslashes and other special characters must be escaped with a backslash.

1. Save and close the sftp.json file.
2. Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac open command palette.
3. Type sftp and you'll now see a number of other commands. You can also access many of the commands from the project's file explorer context menus.
4. A good one to start with if you want to sync with a remote folder is SFTP: Download Project. This will download the directory shown in the remotePath setting in sftp.json to your local open directory.
5. Done - you can now edit locally and after each save it will upload to sync your remote file with the local copy.
6. Enjoy!
