I have a problem with sftp extension. When I upload file using the option "Upload ..." clicking with the right button on a file, everything works. The same for download of entire folders.

But as soon as I save a file watched by the extension (using a context) , there is an odd error saying Error: Config Not Found

the error is the following:

sftp conf file (sensitive data obfuscated) (I repeat the upload works, so I think it's not a problem of configuration)

I activated the debug mode

I have this problem too when using context

Aug 29 '23 02:08 staatzstreich

Maybe this also relates to #398 ? Did you try to downgrade to 1.16.1?

Oct 25 '23 07:10 jnagler

My issue was with multiple context (did not try the single version). There seems to be a problem with evaluating the path of the selected local file as relative to the root folder. If you convert the "context" value into absolute paths instead of relative paths (so no usage of just "/" for the root), things work. such as:

[
{
    "name": "name-1",
    "context": "/Users/user/projects/project1"
    "remotePath": "/home/user/remote",
    ...
},
{
    "name": "name-2",
    "context": "/Users/user/projects/project1/other",
    "remotePath": "/usr/local/other",
    ...
}
]

same behavior, downgrade to 1.16.1 helped
