Code Editor for editing files over SFTP/FTP

dotcomUNDERGROUND

I am looking for free hosted or self-hosted code editor which will allow me to edit codes over SFTP/FTP.

I have been using CodeAnywhere and CodeTasty. CodeAnywhere went paid only and CodeTasty is not being maintained any more.

Also, what you guys recommend for desktop (windows) code editor with sftp/ftp support.

Visual Studio Code with the SFTP extension could work

As far as I remember Notepad++ has a plugin for SFTP/FTP (it's not hosted but can be portable).

Vscode with ssh and auto save. Near instant response to code. Love it. Previously used notepad++, but it laked features.

dotcomUNDERGROUND

Thanks. But anything other than VS Code? Also for online hosted?

Just curious as to what you might not like about VS Code?

Did you know you can self host it and run it in a browser?

I guess I'll have to spend more time understanding how to work with the sftp extensions.

wow. If they will implement proper syntax highliting, plus import of shortcodes with all popular commands / features from other editors and will add several enumerators and multi-lines changes at the same time, it will be probably good editor.

The speed of development and structure make me hopeful that it will be a very good editor. All they need is a major corporation backing.

Doesn't vscode need a code server installed on remote machine to use sftp extension? Or was that WSL only thing?

For self hosted try https://github.com/coder/code-server. Works perfectly with Docker if you like it. Then install vscode SFTP plugin from open-vsx repo.

Thanks, I am using VS Code with WebDAV and it is slow as fuck. I'll try the ssh option.

Indeed, there are reasons to use the GPU, but reducing input lag (as seems to be the main selling point) isn't one of them
