It feels to me like this should be doable, but I can’t figure out how. The extension ftp-simple works great, but opening a remote workspace makes a temporary folder and only downloads the files currently opened in the editor. This means basic things like globally searching through all the files won’t work.

Ideally, I’d like ftp-simple to connect to the remote workspace, but locally use the local git repo folder so I’m working directly in the workspace I’d be checking code in and out from. I’ve set the “project” key in the settings as well, per this information, but still it’s opening in a temp folder rather than the workspace which contains the local git repo.
