I need to be able to remotely log into web servers for my clients and edit code remotely. I mostly use this for CSS changes, but also am starting to play with PHP as well.
I have tried to get Remote-Editor to work but it won't pick up the .remote file that I placed in the /home folder. The instructions don't really give great details on setting this up.
What do I do?
Use FileZilla, then set VScode as default editor (edit->settings->file editing->filetype associations and insert "php /usr/bin/code"). okey, now u need select your file on FTP and press "View/Edit", then ur file open in VScode editor. Done:)
Open Filezilla -> Edit -> Settings -> File Editing -> Filetype associations
Now you will have "Custom filetype associations:" situated on the right pane of the window. Over there you have to write the command for opening VSCode for PHP files.
Step 1: Search and locate the VSCode Exe file setup install directory on your computer. In my case it was (C:\Users\Shubham\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe)
Step 2: Copy the directory path link of the ".exe" file and come back to the "Custom filetype associations:" inside Filezilla.
Step 3: Now type "php" then give space & paste the directory path that you have copied inside double quotes and then again give space and write "-open". The final code should look something like this
php "C:\Users\Shubham\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe" -open
Step 4: Click the Okay Button and have a coffee.
Just type this is Filezilla Settings->File Editing-> File Association
php /snap/bin/code
Open Filezilla and go to Edit >> Settings
Click on File Editing, and set the radio button to use Custom Editor
In the text field below you need to enter the full path to Visual Studio Code, this is usually found in the /usr/bin/ directory, so you need to enter the following /usr/bin/code
Next select the radio button Always use default editor and click OK to finalise the settings.
open filezilla->edit->file editing->use custom editor->browse(find the visual code path)
for find visual code path->right click on the visual code and open location and paste that location to the browse menu and find the visual code short cut
after that press ok on filzilla it will work fine
It's important that you start Filezilla as an administrator. That was the reason why it wasn't working for me.
Most of the answers I see are for Windows. If anyone wants to associate File Types using Linux in Filezilla, the path is a bit different.
htm /snap/bin/code --force-user-env --no-sandbox --unity-launch
html /snap/bin/code --force-user-env --no-sandbox --unity-launch
js /snap/bin/code --force-user-env --no-sandbox --unity-launch
php /snap/bin/code --force-user-env --no-sandbox --unity-launch
You do not need to use the extra flags, but they are being used in the Menu Shortcut, so I included them.
Open Filezilla -> Edit -> Settings -> File Editing -> Filetype associations then type:
php "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" %f
Note: substitute <username> with your windows username
Bonus: php can be replace with any kind of file format. Just write file extension name on lowercase.
I used this registry update to set vscode as my default text file editor (copy & paste into update.reg, open regedit and import the file):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\text\shell\edit\command]
@=hex(2):22,00,25,00,55,00,53,00,45,00,52,00,50,00,52,00,4f,00,46,00,49,00,4c,\
00,45,00,25,00,5c,00,41,00,70,00,70,00,44,00,61,00,74,00,61,00,5c,00,4c,00,\
6f,00,63,00,61,00,6c,00,5c,00,50,00,72,00,6f,00,67,00,72,00,61,00,6d,00,73,\
00,5c,00,4d,00,69,00,63,00,72,00,6f,00,73,00,6f,00,66,00,74,00,20,00,56,00,\
53,00,20,00,43,00,6f,00,64,00,65,00,5c,00,43,00,6f,00,64,00,65,00,2e,00,65,\
00,78,00,65,00,22,00,20,00,25,00,31,00,00,00
After that the registry is updated as follows:
Of course you should not trust hex encoded registry updates you found in the internet. So copy 22,00 ... 00,00, remove all backslashes, linebreaks and whitespaces and convert through one of many hex to ascii online converters to verify the import:
After you made this change you can even edit text files with vscode through the "edit" context menu entry:
