Good day!
There is a project on Symfony2, which is located on a remote server and weighs about 25GB. My IDE is PHPStorm. I've been working on the project for a month and have been familiar with Symfony for exactly the same amount. In the project, no version control system was used by previous developers.
I decided that I would not upload the entire project, but work with individual files. In general, working in this mode is normal, but due to the fact that I can not use all the features of PHPStorm, it freaks me out.
How to properly synchronize with a project that is located on a remote server? What do you usually do in such a case?
P.S. app/cache weighs 6.3gb, web/uploads 6.9gb, web/web 6.7gb. Is there a way to bypass loading these and possibly other directories?

Well, I think it's still worth putting some kind of version control system. It's strange how such a project manages without it in principle)

It is correct to use a version control system (Git, Mercurial, etc) and a Continuous Delivery server (Jenkins, TeamCity, etc), which will deploy the necessary branches and versions from the VCS. And you will work with a local copy of the code, getting the latest versions from the VCS. It is customary to synchronize database states with migrations.
