Usage

Main Commands

Command	Description	Detailed description
SFTP: Config	create a new config file at workspace root	see below for an explained config file
SFTP: Upload	upload file/directory	copies selected files from the local to the remote directory, overwriting the remote ones. Files that are only present on the remote side won't be affected. Files that are only present on the local side will be created remotely
SFTP: Download	download file/directory	same as above, but in the opposite direction
SFTP: Sync To Remote	sync local directory to remote	only available for directories. Copies common files (that exist on both sides) from local dir to remote, overwriting destination. If syncMode is set to full, files that exist only on the local side will be created remotely, and files that exist only on the remote side will be deleted
SFTP: Sync To Local	sync remote directory to local	same as above, but in the opposite direction
