Help with Visual Studio Code Please
Just switched to a new computer and WebMatrix is not available any longer so I am playing around with this product. How do I get my pages and changes to the server?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Remote. I usually uploaded to the server via WebMatrix. Trying to decide how to do that with Visual Studio Code program.

I see that I need an extension like simple-ftp. I have installed that but I am having a hard time "using it". It asks for an ftp server but I don't see where to put that information into vs code or where to configure simple-ftp so that the ftp server I want is configured.
I found a plugin named FTP-simple but not simple-FTP. If this is the plugin you're using, the configuration instructions appear to be listed as:
Startup Settings
Press 'F1'
Enter 'ftp-simple'
Pick 'CONFIG'
Enter ftp connection information and save
Config setting example
See the easy-ftp details.
name - string - Display name.
host - string - server domain or ip.
port - number - (option) port (Default: : 21)
type - string - (option) ftp type. 'ftp' or 'sftp' (Default: : 'ftp')
username - string - username for authentication.
password - string - (option) password for authentication.
privateKey - string - (option) sftp only. String that contains a private key for either key-based or hostbased user authentication (OpenSSH format) Default: none
passphrase - string - (option) Use sftp 'privateKey' only. For an encrypted private key, this is the passphrase used to decrypt it. Default: none
agent - string - (option) sftp only. Path to SSH-Agent socket or use 'pageant' on Windows for Putty’s Pageant. Important: Set password to something, it will not be used but otherwise you will be asked for one! Default: none
path - string - (option) remote root path. Default: '/'
autosave - boolean - (option) To determine whether the automatically uploaded when you open a file directly and modify and save. Default: true
backup - string - (option) The local path you want to back up before file saving on the server.
confirm - boolean - (option) Only save option. When you save the file, ask if you want to overwrite the file if it already exists.. Default: true
project - object - (option) Only save option. Pre-specify local workspace path and server root path to save directly without selecting a path. Overwrite unconditionally.
ignore - array - (option) Only 'Remote directory open to workspace' option. Path to be ignore. Use glog pattern. (Caution : server path (ex:/home) + ignore pattern (ex:/**/node_modules) => /home/**/node_modules)
