PhpStorm Remote FTP "no files found"

Question

I am new to PhpStorm and try to connect the project to my existing folders and files on my FTP server. I configured the deployment settings first in the settings menu and for testing via "create project from existing files" in another project. Both ways, I can connect to my FTP server and can browse through the server folders.

But not all of the files are shown in PhpStorm. Eg I can find the file index.php but not 2.bs-test.template.php in the developer folder (which exists on FileZilla but not for PhpStorm). Therefore, some folders are completely "empty" for PhpStorm and I cannot download and edit these files...

When I try to download the error "No files or folders found to process" occurs.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Answer 1

Solution : In my case, some folders had suffixes like .../foldername [2]/... .

PhpStorm is not able to read files in these folders with special suffixes like [2] . After I removed the suffixes the files appeared - without any changes in remote settings.
