PhpStorm - FTP-connect. Guide.

How to connect to a website via an FTP connection in PhpStorm to edit your web application files. A little setup guide.

In order for PhpStorm to index the entire project and output the correct hints, it is better to use this configuration algorithm for remote work.

(this is under Windows 10)

1. In any convenient place on the computer, create a folder with a future project, for example, "MyLocalWWW".

2. Then go to PhpStorm:
    Tools => Deployment => Configuration
    click on "+" and select the desired connection protocol, FTP.
    We give a name to this connection, for example "MyRemoteWWW", click ok and the "Connection" tab opens.
    
3. On the "Connection" tab, enter your access data received from your hosting provider.
    in the "Web Server URL" field - the address of your website with the correct HTTP/HTTPS protocol.
    don't forget to check the box "Remember password".
    Click the "Test Connection" button.

4. Open the "Mapping" tab
, the "Local Path" field, and open and search on your computer for your folder, which you prepared in step 1.
    The "Deployment Path" field opens a list of directories on the remote server. Select the folder of our site or the folder that you need to work with files from it. Click Ok.
    
5. Right-click on the folder "MyLocalWWW" in the column on the left, go:
    Deployment => Download from MyRemoteWWW
    We are waiting for all files to be uploaded to the local computer.
    Making the necessary edits.
    Then, when you need to send the changes to a remote web server (hosting), right-click on the file or folder again, go
    Deployment => Upload to MyRemoteWWW
    
And all the instructions.
