Is it possible in PhpStorm to open a file via ftp without synchronization?

Question

phpstorm

Please tell me, is it possible to open a file via ftp in PhpStorm without synchronization and creating a project? I guess you always need to create a new project, but is it possible to do this without downloading the entire site via ftp?

Answer 1

You can't do it without creating a project.
But having created a project, you can set up deployment, no matter what goes where, the main thing is that in the remote host view window you can see the files on the server.
Double clicking on a file will open it for editing.
This will be inconvenient. the file will be sent to the server not by Ctrl + S but by pressing a separate button.
Well, you lose all the functions of the IDE - no indexing and smart hints. With the same success it is possible (and even more convenient) to use WinSCP.
