I am trying to run the first example of zguide (zeromq). The project has two files, client and server, and I am doing this using vscode ssh remote on a RHEL7 machine.
Here is the structure of the folder and how it looks like in VSCode explorer:
ZEROMQ[SSH:remote_machine]
|_.vscode
|_tasks.json
|_c_cpp_properties.json
|_client.cpp
|_server.cpp
Once in a while I receive this warning:
Unable to watch for file changes in this large workspace folder. Please follow the instructions link to resolve this issue.
The instructions are of course telling me to increase the limit size which I don't think is the issue here with such a small project.
So, any ideas what's happening and how to resolve this?

I have several RaspberryPIs as remotes in VSCode via SSH.
In some of them at some point the "search in files" feature has stoped working.
It is only searching inside the opened files.
[EDIT]
After further investigation I found out that on all the Raspberrys where the error occurs I can not install ripgrep. (E: Unable to locate package ripgrep)
As VSCode is using ripgrep for searching this may be the cause but what is the solution then?
[EDIT2]
I built and installed ripgrep manuall. No success.
But maybe it is related to the debian version being 9.X
As several people have reported the same problem but the cirumstances are always different I tried the following solutions:
Make sure the "book" icon is not checked (some users had that problem)
Make sure it is not related to path lenght. Just one folder in ~ with file a.py and b.py (some user had that problem)
Made sure there is nothing in the .gitignore file (some user had that problem)
Made a new folder not inside a samba shared folder (some user had that problem)
Deactivated all exensions on the remote
Deactivated all non SSH related extensions on the PC
Compared the setting on the broken remote to a working one. They are completely the same.
deleted the .vscode-server folder on the remote to force VSCode to install it again
I cannot figure out how to use the ftp-kr extension for VS Code properly. I have read and re-read the GitHub Wiki and the README documentation and cannot find any other help for my issue. I posted this question to the project Issues on GitHub but have yet to receive a response.
ftp-kr is just a simple extension for editing files via FTP that are located on a remote server. Many other users seem to be using the extension with no issue.
I installed the extension, and then I successfully edited the connection settings (in ftp-kr.json) and successfully made a connection to the remote server I am trying to edit files on.
I opened the FTP-KR: EXPLORER pane to look at all of the files on the server, but if I double-click any of the files to open them and then try to edit them, I am unable to type and just get a warning in VS Code that says "Cannot edit in read-only editor".
I have tried right-clicking on files and clicking the "Download This" button, thinking that maybe I need to download a local copy of the files to edit before uploading the changes. However, whenever I click the "Download This" option on any file in the ftp-kr Explorer, it just gives me an error message that says "[file_name] is not in remotePath".
I tried running the >ftp-kr: Download All command, but it just spits out a notice that says "Nothing to DO".
How do I edit files located on the remote server and save those changes to the server?
P.S. I have tried the solutions found in this question but unfortunately none of them seem to work. Particularly, "code-runner: Run in terminal" is not in my settings and "Edit in Local" is not a context menu item that appears in my editor.
After a number of months, I finally have a solution to this thanks to the developer eventually responding on GitHub. There are a few things going on here.
Any file that a user wishes to modify must be downloaded as a local copy on the user's machine first and then that copy can be uploaded to the webserver via FTP.
ftp-kr cannot auto-download individual files. (Either when they are double-clicked on or through any other method.) It can only download entire directories, and those directories can be changed by using the localPath and ignore options in the configuration file, then stopping and restarting the ftp connection.
The "Download This" context menu option that appears is a piece of non-implemented code. It will not do anything.
>ftp-kr: Download All is the preferred way (by the developer's intent) to download the remote files onto the user's computer. The fact that it was returning an error before was a bug which has now been fixed.
Confusingly, the user can view the filenames and context of every file on the remote file system using a convenient tree view, you just cannot simply download any of those files individually.
In all, this plugin does not provide the functionality that I hoped it would have. (Namely, being able to easily download, modify, and upload individual files.) So I know how to properly use it, I will just be switching to a different plugin for my purposes.
I recently opted to start using Visual Studio Code. I want to connect to a remote server and edit files directly on the server. FTP-Simple seems like a great solution. But I am having a hard time understanding some basics about the program.
If I make a connection to a server, does FTP-Simple download all the actual files to my hard drive?
Also, I was able to make a connection, but in one of the directories there should be a sub-directory and it's missing. What am I doing wrong?
Can someone point me to some good documentation for this extension such as video(s), etc.
If I make a connection to a server, does FTP-Simple download all the
actual files to my hard drive?
Yes, It download all to your hard drive. you can find an address like below:
C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\ftp-simple\remote-workspace-temp\cbc1ad9ed60f12ec861052806d7833db\httpdocs
for opening a directory in VSCode you can press F1 type ftp-config then click ftp-config:Open
and click on target directory you want to open for more information use this
2 years later and I'm having the same problem. I have already uninstalled ftp simple as well as VSC with no effect.
The plugin just doesn't download all the files on the FTP. It worked the first time I installed it for 2-3 weeks and then suddenly stopped being in sync with the FTP server.
There is a folder called "code" on mac in Library/Application Support where most of VSC data is saved, but deleting this didn't have an effect either. Perhaps it works for someone else, as this is apparently necessary to fully deinstall VSC.
I'd pay for good plugin that just allows to work remotely on ftp files!!
I have been using Netbeans for several months now and like it a lot. I am trying to enable a way to create a project which accesses live files on my server to make changes. When I create a project using a remote source, it starts downloading all the server files to my computer. This would be just fine, except for the fact that (a) the server has a few gigs of files on it and (b) there are two of us that will be making changes on the server.
In the past, I have worked with IDEs that just open an FTP or SFTP connection and will download the file you want to edit, and then upload that file back to the server when you save it. Preferably, this is what I would like Netbeans to do.
I have tried adding a FTP folder in Windows, but Netbeans won't open it. I have tried using Swish and setting up an SFTP folder, and Netbeans won't find the Swish folder altogether.
On a side note, I understand what I am doing is horrible practice, but it is a small site and I am usually the only one working on it. I haven't worked on the website in the past several weeks and just thought it would be easier to get access directly than re-downloading the entire server's worth of code/images/videos/etc. Any help would be appreciated.
NetBeans does not support what you want to do. However, if you put your site under Subversion/Git (revision control), you could check out the content, modify it locally and push modification back remotely.
This would also help avoiding code clashes when your friends work on your website too.
Actually Netbeans supports this for php projects.
Just choose :
PHP Application from remote server
(but git is the best solution anw as it gives you version control as well but the above is useful if you want your server files to be updated when you just press ctr+s)
I have a PHP project in NetBeans with remote files (over sftp). When I create, modify anything these changes happening both locally and on my web server. However when I'm trying to delete a file or a folder it gets erased only locally. What could be the problem?
Permissions seems to be ok, all files belong to the user I'm using to access the server.
I'm using Netbeans 6.9.1, default configuration, all updates installed.
Netbeans does not have a synchronization function. It is limited to downloading and uploading files. What you can do is to use some external tool, for example WinSCP is capable of synchronizing local and remote directories.
I read what you wrote... but I think it could be a permissions problem.
I also use NetBeans and when I delete a file from the project window it first erase it locally and then syncs with my server.
I login through sftp (using vsftp) as root, which is a bad thing, but you could try this too to be sure if it's a permission issue.
You mistakenly turned off the settings. Please follow these steps:
Right click on the project name
Select properties
From the list of the left select 'Run configuration'
On the left almost down, look for the setting 'Upload files:'
Make sure you set that to 'On Save'
All the best man
