Remote Config(option)

"File - Preferences - Settings" and type in the format shown below.

• ftp-simple.remote-workspace - string - (option) You can modify the local workspace path when you open a remote file. Modify this option if remote file encoding is not UTF-8.(VSCode appears to have encoding recognition bugs if the workspace path is longer.)
• ftp-simple.remote-workspace-load-all - boolean - (option) Indicates whether all files are loaded during initial run. If false, the sub folder ([DIR]) will load when it is clicked. Default: true

Example

"ftp-simple.remote-workspace" : "c:/remote-workspace",
"ftp-simple.remote-workspace-load-all" : true
