Is it possible to edit projects on PhpStorm directly on the server side, without uploading them to the local server?
I want to go to some sensible IDE, where you can do it.

    Don't do that. The most disgusting practice that you can imagine. - VladimirAbramov

  1. So you can not do.

    It is impossible under any circumstances to get dirty hands on the working server.

    Even if you need to fix one line.

    Even if one character.

    DO NOT.

  2. PHPStorm does not know how. Until. Perhaps because it is an intelligent IDE.

    But if you really want to - smoke WebStorm 10 EAP. They asked for it .

    Naked "no", unfortunately, rarely works. Therefore, I will add the reasons: a) if the test machine is not local, the change check slows down dramatically, and therefore the work in general, b) the work of several people according to this scheme can end unpredictably, since nothing will catch the conflicting changes, c) if it is a working server, You will constantly drop a working site, users will not thank you. - D-side

This became possible in the new PhpStorm 9

Remote development

Version 9 adds one of the most requested features in PhpStorm history - Remote Edit. Open single files directly from a remote server (FTP, SFTP, FTPS, etc.) and edit them in the IDE without saving / loading to a local project.

To start editing a file from a remote server, simply select Edit Remote File in the context menu or double-click the file.

Among other things, it was possible to compare the current version of the file with the last downloaded one.

There is a video "What's new in PHPStorm 9?" in English, demonstrating the use of the new feature.

ps always make backups, do not hope for "maybe".

    In pkhpshtorm I did this: copied to the locale, hung up on ftp on hotkey. As an option, mount the remote directory as a partition (if you have Linux), and edit. With direct access to FTP with the storm did not work, netbeans, just knows how to try them.

      PhpStorm, as already said, does not know how. Yes, and IDE practically do not, this is more the priority of editors. From the editors PhpDesigner 8 (patny), Notepad ++ with plugins, Atom with plugins, Komodo Edit can do this.
