Reviving vscode-sftp

[ghost]

The maintainer of this repository is no longer active on GitHub. Seeing that this extension is still very popular and mostly functional on VSCode, I am going to take up the reins of forking it and maintaining it myself.

Here is the fork: https://github.com/bthompson90/vscode-sftp-revived

I haven't released anything to the marketplace yet. I want to get it in a good working state first so that some of the bugs are fixed before releasing it to the wild, or else there is really no point.

It's licensed by MIT, so that's a big plus!

Cheers, LT

If people subscribe to this post will we be notified when something is released?

Thank you for doing this :)

@GusGF yes, I will notify people in this thread once the initial release is out there.

Here is a list of issues that I'm going to be tackling in the first release: https://github.com/TomaisLeannan/vscode-sftp-revived/projects/1

Maybe the very first thing to address is that the extension does not work in 1.53.x of VSCode..

I love this extension!, except cant access Siteground, its fine on other servers? Filezilla requires key pairs to be setup initially with sftp so does that mean there is a setup step missed with this extension?

Yes that does look like a good place to start.

Possibly. Im not familiar with Siteground. Do you mind opening up a new issue deacribing your problem?

Yup, whoever "bthompson90" was, he must have got to busy and backed off completely and recently turned off his GitHub account or something.

Looking at all the forks of this repo this one seems updated most recently: https://github.com/Natizyskunk/vscode-sftp/ Anyone tried this yet?

does not work for me

ssh-streams module has to get installed manually for the v.1.12.10 release - then it seems to work: https://github.com/liximomo/vscode-sftp/issues/919#issuecomment-843392014

How can I install the extension from https://github.com/viperet/vscode-sftp-revived? Because, in VS-Code is not this Extension. Thanks.

[kylewetton]

@cyberfish clone the repo to your computer, install vsce on your machine with npm install -g vsce

Now open the repo in VSCode and in the root directory run vsce package

This creates a .vsix file. This file is an extension file. You can install extensions through the Marketplace, but you can also install extensions directly with a .vsix file.

Have a look here:
