Do you read the FAQ?

Describe the bug Early this day I started to use this extension the VS code over my PC running Linux. Latter I tried to work on the same project over my other pc, that runs Windows. After installing the extension, when defining the folder to use I created a folder called "use SFTP" but at some point I got an error, believing that the " "(SPACE) what causing the issue I changed it to "useSFTP" but I keep getting an error.

Looking to the first line in the console it appears that the destination folder did not update. And i can't find a way to change it manually. But I might be wrong by assuming this. I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [e.g. Mac, Win, Linux]
• VSCode Version 1.39.2
• Extension Version 1.12.9

I hope this thread will be seen, I have the same issue. It only happens when I right-click in the root folder and click "download folder". Then I get the same error message as stated above. I believe the error is in the first line where 2 paths get concatenated.

my config file is very simple with nothing special added.

"name": "name", "host": "link.io", "protocol": "sftp", "port": 22, "username": "pasgru", "remotePath": "/", "uploadOnSave": false

The error also occurs when I try to set the connection to be "Both directions". If you need anything further just let me know.

• SFTP 1.12.9

I had the same issue and error shown below. I fixed it by deleting the "?" hidden folder on the remote.
