A VS Code extension that syncs local directories with remote servers over SFTP/FTP. It supports uploading on save, downloading projects, diffing local and remote files, and browsing remote directories via a Remote Explorer.

Use cases

  • edit files on a remote server directly from VS Code
  • automatically upload files to a server when saving
  • download a remote project folder to edit locally
  • sync a local directory with a remote server directory
  • diff local files against remote copies
  • browse remote server files in VS Code
  • manage multiple sftp/ftp deployment profiles

When to choose

  • you edit code on a remote server and want save-to-upload workflow
  • you need simple sftp/ftp sync inside VS Code with minimal config
  • you want to download a remote project and keep it in sync locally

When to avoid

  • you need full remote development (terminal, debugging) - use VS Code Remote SSH instead
  • you need robust CI/CD deployment pipelines
  • you use editors other than VS Code
  • you need actively developed features - the project is in maintenance mode
