I appreciate everyone's feed back. When I started this journey I failed to understand that the docroot needed to be owned by a user that is SSH enabled.

I am using Ubuntu 24.04lts with a standard LAMP config.

A friend who owns a hosting company pointed out that the docroot cannot be owed by www-date:www-data AND have the ability to be edited remotely using Visual Studio Code. He said I needed to configure my server to use PHP-FPM so the Docroot can be owned by a SSH enabled user.

So I followed the following steps:


1) Add User and configured AllowUsers in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

2) Change that user's home directory to the docroot : sudo usermod -d /var/www/domain.tld/public_html (this is for convenience only) user is not jailed into the Docroot.

3) Configured PHP-FPM for multiple virtual hosts, this allows the SSH user to be the owner of Docroot so I can add/edit/delete files and directories using Visual Studio Code editing remotely.

4) Set owner for Docroot  :  sudo chown -R user:user /var/www/domain.tld

5) Visual Studio Code - edit remote using the Remote-SSH plugin.

I can add/edit/delete using VSC

I can view the index.php contents in my browser using a non-routable domain domain-name.internal which is configured using the hosts files.

Given some simple testing everything seems to be working.

Thank you all for your responses.  They help so much!!

You could set up a crontab that runs rsync/ssh/etc

Also, I seem to recall there’s a way to monitor a folder for changes
that could trigger rsync/etc

Doesn’t it have something that lets you connect to a git repo?

One option is to create a VSCode task that FTPs a copy to the

Hi,

I am looking for a plugin for Visual Studio Code that allows me to

connect via SFTP and stores the code local and remote.

Does anyone have a suggestion.

Thanks!!
Keith
