In VS Code, select Remote-SSH: Connect to Host. From the Command Palette ( F1) and use the same user@hostname as in step 1. If VS Code cannot automatically detect the type of server you are connecting to, you will be asked to select the type manually. I found a similar issue that was asked in Nov'17, see 'Visual code studio ftp-simple doesn't work' He had the same problem: Nothing happens. Based on the comments, I can say 1) I'm using SFTP, not FTP, 2) I tried a site with a UserID and Password, and one with a certificate key, 3) I can SSH into the server from the command line, 4) I'm on a Windows 10 machine.

It will open the sftp.json file in the editor. You will get the content like below in the sftp.json file.

Fill the details like protocol, host, username, remotePath, etc. Port is default to 22. You can change it if you are using another port. I recommend keeping the “uploadOnSave” value as false so the file will not upload automatically on saving it. While using the extension, make sure your local project and remote project have the same files and folders structure.

Once you enter the details save the file. sftp.json file saved in your project root directory under the .vscode folder. This file is for a single project. For another project you need to follow the same steps and set a sftp.json file.
