"Can't find remote", "File not found"

[robertandrews]

I am trying to set up a connection to my FTP server.

I have:

• Saved Workspace As to create MySpace.code-workspace file
• Opens Settings and pasted the following in to Workspace Settings...

{
    "folders": [{
        "uri": "ftp://myuser:[email protected]:21",
        "name": "My FTP folder"
    }
],
"settings": {},
}

However, the bottom-right of VSCode reports...

("Can't find remote", "File not found")

... while the sidebar shows...

(An exclamation mark, with the hint underneath hover: "Can not resolve workspace folder")

I don't get to see any file tree, though I have read the parallel issue about a problem showing files below top level.

I wondered if my FTP host has trouble accepting a login with the uri format you advise. Trying to login to it via Mac Terminal with myuser:[email protected]:21, it actually reports: 331 User myuser:mypass OK. Password required, which is obviously wrong. It took removing the password and port to login to it via Terminal. But doing so in Code Workspace Settings doesn't work either.

How can I overcome this?

Any ideas about this?

Same problem here! ("can't find remote")

I have the same problem, can you let us know if ftp needs special settings or workspace file should be in the remote folder?

Can confirm this issue, too. Still no news there? Connecting via ssh/WinSCP (using sftp) just works fine...

Same problem there, working fine via sftp client created on bash. By the remote extension, not good.

still not fixed ?

just remove the Remote FS extension, it seems ok, but the path is the root / #
