Best FTP plugin for VSCode?

Please tell me the best VSCode plugin for working via FTP. I went through the most famous options, however, for various reasons they are not suitable.

ftp-simple - works directly on the server, hence the delays and long opening, plus I work with Git, so it is urgent to work with local files. (I know that it can be configured locally, but that's not it)
SFTP - has problems with the automatic watcher. When updating one file, it re-uploads the entire folder to the server, and if you update a file in the root of the project, it generally tries to re-upload the entire project with a new one. Plus, it can’t cope with a lot of files, often the download hangs.
Deploy Reloaded- there are problems with automatic deployment. Watcher that watches for changed files does not see files being modified in highly nested folders or in specific locations. You often have to deploy manually.

I am looking for a plugin according to the following criteria: automatic deployment when saving a file , automatic deletion , automatic deployment of changed files (I use a CSS preprocessor, so this is an urgent need).

Maybe I missed something or did not understand the settings of one of the plugins? And what do you use?

WinSCP fills back on save. I think others do too. You don't really need any plugin. From the FTP client, open for editing, when saving, the client will send it to the server.

I want to support a colleague. I use PHPstorm and there is a chic version of the ftp client.
Everything you describe is supported. In general, working with hosting becomes really carefree. You can work as a local. It also loads all compiled css by change, for example in scss.
But I was interested in switching to VS code since it's free. And I can't find the right client either.
The option through a separate ftp client is not very convenient, since every time you need to upload the necessary files for tracking there.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
