I am using the latest version and it's not prompt me for the password when I set it in config file:
{
"name": "server name",
"host": "ftp.example.com",
"protocol": "ftp",
"port": 21,
"username": "asdas",
"password": "*****",
"remotePath": "/",
"uploadOnSave": false
}
@vahidahmad, indeed, as mentioned in my request:
When the password is stored in the config file, the extension reconnects automatically. But when the password is not stored, the extension prompts for it.

But this leaves the password in plain text in a normal text file (the config file) -- this is a security issue... Ideally the password should be stored in some encrypted way, or am I missing something here?...
I would love it if the password should only be required once per session. I wouldn't like to store it, but to enter it on every-single-save is a bit too much.
I think it would also be nice if the plugin supported asymmetric SSH encryption keys. I'll look into this.
It is a big security issue to store passwords in a plain text. Can you add a master password in the configuration to decrypt passwords that are saved encrypted?
Is this a similar or duplicate feature request?
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm frustrated to enter the password every time the extension accesses to the server.
Describe the solution you'd like The server closes the connection after a few seconds of inactivity:
When the password is stored in the config file, the extension reconnects automatically. But when the password is not stored, the extension prompts for it. I would like the extension remembers the password entered the 1st time it connects.
