Access files on servers
note
For the sake of simplicity, any file or folder in your PhpStorm project is called local and any file or folder on the server is called remote, even if the server is actually installed on your machine. For more information, refer to Connect to a web server.
Although PhpStorm supports direct editing of individual non-project files on servers, to get full coding assistance either download the sources from the server and arrange them in a PhpStorm project or upload the local sources to the server. In either case, to keep your local and remote sources synchronized, configure automatic upload using the Upload changed files automatically to the default server list in the Options dialog.
