Enable SSH connection to SiteGround server This works well with PHP, which basically is the only language officially supported by SiteGround for web hosting applications. The idea is to work your code/files in a local folder and through the use of SFTP to auto-sync your modification to a specific folder hosted in SiteGround.Įssentially, the development is done locally but will maintain an exact copy at SiteGround. It allows you to modify files using Visual Studio Code and reflect it on SiteGround as soon as you save the files. Well, technically it’s not the same but the results are probably good enough to work with SiteGround. We can utilize SFTP, available with SiteGround, to achieve the same. Unfortunately, this method does not work against SiteGround Shared Hosting because the SSH server at SiteGround is restricted and does NOT allow SSH Local Port Forwarding, which is a feature used by Remote – SSH to establish communication. Typically, Visual Studio Code Development on a remote machine is achieved through the use of Remote – SSH extension. I would like to use Visual Studio Code to make changes remotely. Using FTP, File Manager or SSH into the server and make changes are not idea.

PHP files, config files) I need to maintain at my SiteGround shared hosting.
