sudo su while uploading files via PhpStorm

Question

I have configured PhpStorm for remote server. But, to write a file I need root access so when I am doing it on server I do sudo su and PhpStorm throws permission denied error !

Any idea how I can configure PhpStorm to handle this scenario?

Answer 1

In phpStorm 2023, Tools -> deployment -> configuration, check "Use Sudo to run SFTP sever" and you will be asked the password. Then restart phpStorm and you will be able to edit files in remote server and transfer them back
