1. Tell me how to use this IDE as an ftp editor? That is, do not create a project with ftp synchronization, but simply go to the ftp server and edit the desired file.
  2. Saw autochange, for example div # id replaces with <div id="id"></div> , how to set it up?

Did a remote project on sftp, but in fact it is not so important: there you can choose any type of connection. I did not try it myself, but it was sftp that was advised (type ftp is buggy), so think for yourself.

Let's start: File -> New Project from existing files ...

Next, select this item: Web server is accessible via FTP / SFTP / FTPS

Then specify the name of your project (as it will be called in phpStorm) and locally on your machine where it can be located.

Next come the settings for the very ftp / sftp and everything with them. I think you will understand.

View -> Windows Tool -> Remote Host. This is exactly what you need, it seems that it appeared in the latest versions of PHPStorm ( https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/2016.1/remote-host-tool-window.html?origin=old_help ). It is enough to create an empty project and use this thing.

The only negative: does not automatically upload! :(. It is necessary to reap Alt + Shift + Q each time.

  • In the settings Build, Execution, Deployment -> Deployment -> Options there is an item Upload changed files automatically to the default server . But it works only if mapping is specified. - xEdelweiss

Saw autochange, for example div # id replaces on, how to do it?

In the context of html, type div # html and press tab.

    Yeah, these ftp dances are always straining. I therefore use the outdated Zend Studio 5.5.1. Ftp is very easy and convenient to add there, the only thing that does not work very well:

    1. You can not change the rights to folders
    2. Bad loads a large number of files

    In newer versions, the same crap with ftp. Try it, maybe enjoy it.
