SuperFTP

FTP/SFTP sync for VS Code with configurable timeouts for connection, upload and download.

Why SuperFTP

• Per-operation timeouts: besides connectTimeout you can set uploadTimeout and downloadTimeout (also in the project JSON).
• Compatible with sftp.json config (same format): use your .vscode/sftp.json as-is, or create .vscode/super-ftp.json.
• FTP and SFTP support (optional private key).

Configuration

Create .vscode/super-ftp.json (or use .vscode/sftp.json) in the workspace root:

{
  "name": "my-server",
  "host": "example.com",
  "protocol": "ftp",
  "port": 21,
  "username": "user",
  "password": "pass",
  "remotePath": "/var/www",
  "uploadOnSave": true,
  "connectTimeout": 10000,
  "uploadTimeout": 60000,
  "downloadTimeout": 60000,
  "ignore": [".git", ".vscode", "node_modules"]
}

• connectTimeout (ms): connection timeout (default 10000).
• uploadTimeout (ms): timeout for each single upload (default 60000).
• downloadTimeout (ms): timeout for each single download (default 60000).

The same timeouts can also be set in VS Code settings (SuperFTP: Connect/Upload/Download Timeout).

Commands

• SuperFTP: Upload File – upload the current (or selected) file
• SuperFTP: Upload Folder – upload the folder (right-click on folder)
• SuperFTP: Download File – download a remote file (enter remote path)
• SuperFTP: Sync Local → Remote – sync the whole project to the server
• SuperFTP: Show Config – open the config file

From the SuperFTP sidebar (Remote view): Download, Upload, Delete (remote only), view modes (Remote / Diff).

Publishing the extension

1. Install vsce (official tool):

   npm install -g @vscode/vsce
   

2. From the super-ftp folder:

   cd super-ftp
   npm install
   npm run compile
   vsce package
   

   This produces a .vsix file that you can install in VS Code via "Install from VSIX".

3. Publish to the Marketplace:

   • Create a Personal Access Token on Azure DevOps with scope Marketplace → Manage.
   • Create a publisher (once): vsce create-publisher superftp-dev
   • Publish: vsce publish -p <token> or vsce login superftp-dev then vsce publish.

4. Publish to Open VSX (e.g. for VSCodium):

   npx ovsx publish -p <token>
   

Development

• npm run compile – compile TypeScript
• npm run watch – watch compilation
• F5 in VS Code – launch Extension Development Host and test the extension
