How to amend files in WP-Engine with VS Code

Summary

  • I started using VS Code Extension ftp-simple because it let me amend the file directly.
  • It is useful if you do not have to work with Sass (Their environment does not provide the commands node or git).

Example Settings

[
  {
    "name": "Example Staging Website",
    "host": "examplestg.sftp.wpengine.com",
    "port": 2222,
    "type": "sftp",
    "username": "examplestg-example",
    "password": "exampleexampleexampleexample1234",
    "path": "/",
    "autosave": true,
    "confirm": false
  },
  {
    "name": "Example Live Website",
    "host": "example.sftp.wpengine.com",
    "port": 2222,
    "type": "sftp",
    "username": "example-example",
    "password": "exampleexampleexampleexample1234",
    "path": "/",
    "autosave": true,
    "confirm": false
  }
]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
