I am working daily with SFTP and i am often needed to download a single file or folder.

But, i do not know how? What i am doing is every time downloading the complete directory, and then deleting all files and folders i do not need. That feels easier to me as second version below (because i must think about all the namings and so on).

There are two perspectives: VS Code explorer and SFTP remote explorer.

In VS Code explorer i can sync all and upload or download a file; but this file must exist local already.

I thought i can download a single file / folder via SFTP remote explorer, but there are only these options:

So, how can i make my life easier? :)

Best way feels to me to switch to SFTP remote explorer and select download file/folder with one-mouse-click😉

Edit in Local is just an alias of Download. Just use it. Since people often misclick, it's not a good idea for download-on-click. But I will consider adding an option to config this behavior.

Sorry, i am on the road, but edit in local just opens a copy of a remote file, neither saves it with exact name nor opens a complete folderwith subfolders?

I will try @ home

Github download zip

Just to understand my download-needs: most of time i work local in VS Code, but often, several files will be changed via texteditor on remote-console. And in this case i need to download this file or a complete folder/sub because of to much changes ;)

That's no problem if you download a single file/folder from SFTP Remote Explorer, because you don't have it yet in VS Code Explorer ;) Otherwise i would have the download / upload action already ;) It's just horrible if you override all existend files/folders via misdone workdir sync in both directions

It does save it in local with exact name.

How about you misclick on a huge a.zip in SFTP Remote Explorer?

Please, when and what should happen? Then you may wait 10 seconds to delete it.

Even if you you download 20.000 files due to a misclicked sync. Wait. Delete.

Its only problematic if you sync wrong time wrong way. But this is impossible via SFTP Remote Explorer

List Active Folder in v1.7.0 should work perfectly for this.

commented Oct 19, 2018

Sorry.

EVERY FTP SOFTWARE HAS THOSE OPTIONS. Why do you face around this?

I close this issue now.

Do not want to stress you

Yes. We have it. List, List All and List Active Folder.

The Remote Explorer is intent to browser files without actually download it to local. (NOT EVERY FTP SOFTWARE HAVE THIS 😄. )

commented Oct 19, 2018

1.) the option Edit in Local in SFTP Remote Explorer works. Sorry, my bad, i forgot to check it 👍

2.) Sorry, seems i am misunderstanding you - actually i am having 1.6.3 and i do not understand the use of this

I will check morely next days when i have more time 😊

Btw: thanks for sftp😉
