Visual Studio Code SFTP to multiple servers - visual-studio-code

Question

In PhpStorm, there is a way to configure multiple SFTP endpoints and chose which server you want to upload to. I'm looking for this functionality in Visual Studio Code. I have installed SFTP VS Code extension and I am able to configure it for one endpoint. What if I want to upload a file to multiple servers? How can I configure that? Or is there another extension that does that?

Answer 1

Hi you can add multiple ftp servers to config. Just The context must not be same.
[
{
"name": "server1",
"context": "/project/build",
"host": "host",
"username": "username",
"password": "password",
"remotePath": "/remote/project/build"
},
{
"name": "server2",
"context": "/project/src",
"host": "host",
"username": "username",
"password": "password",
"remotePath": "/remote/project/src"
}
]

You can use "profiles" with the SFTP extension now. https://github.com/liximomo/vscode-sftp#profiles
{
"name": "My Project",
"protocol": "sftp",
"remotePath": "/",
"port": 22,
"profiles": {
"dev": {
"host": "server1.example.com",
"username": "username",
"password": "password"
},
"prod": {
"host": "server2.example.com",
"username": "other-username",
"password": "other-password"
}
},
"defaultProfile": "dev"
}

Answer 3

You can set up remotePath for each of your profiles like that: (I saw that such question was asked by #Charlie Parker in the second answer to that question)
{
"name": "ExampleName",
"protocol": "sftp",
"port": 22,
"profiles": {
"profile1": {
"host": "connection1",
"username": "user1",
"remotePath":"/path1"
},
"profile2": {
"host": "connection2",
"username": "user2",
"remotePath":"/path2"
},
"profile3": {
"host": "connection3",
"username": "user3",
"remotePath":"/path3"
},
}
}
And with Ctrl+Sifht+P > Set Profile you can change your profile.
