Please help me to understand something about Visual Studio Code. I spent already days searching and testing this tool and still, can't make it work like I want. Before I worked in Netbeans and it supports local directory content and file changes sync with remote server. If I create or change a file, it will be sent to remote server. I want the same in Visual Studio Code, but I can't find how. I know, that there is Visual Studio Code Remote - SSH, which allows to directly change remote files, but I want to have local copy. And then there is Sync-Rsync extension, which almost do what I want, but not exactly. It allows to send changed files to remote server, but totally ignores file and folder creation or deletion. Or maybe I just do not know, how to configure it, to work correctly. Maybe someone have more experience with this and can share some thoughts about this?

A reasonable question, IMO! This response is undoubtedly too late to help OP, but hopefully it will help others. I have been frustrated with the same problem, and I have used the SFTP extension by liximomo, which seems full-featured and reasonably well documented. It's worked OK for me, and it has >1M downloads with 4-star reviews based on 225 reviews. Unfortunately not updated since 2019, and recent reviews have not been good. There are several other extensions of the same name with fewer downloads and reviews. This one looks promising: it is a fork of the liximomo project, last updated 8 days ago, almost 30K downloads, and 22 reviews with a 5-star average. Actually, seeing this, I think I will uninstall the liximomo version and install this one, thanks for getting me to look into this.
[Edit Feb 2022: the extension I said I would try was SFTP by Natizyskunk. It now has 42K downloads, and 26 reviews with a 5-star average. When I just checked it was literally updated yesterday, the first time since a burst of updates last November. I don't use it a lot, but it's worked fine when I have.]
Sync-Rsync has about 26K downloads, 4.5 stars based on 21 reviews. The changelog is also 2019-vintage.
