PyCharm: download from remote host?

Question

I have deployment options set up correctly and uploading works without issues, I can upload individual files as well as the whole project.

But in the Remote Host panel the download/upload buttons are grayed out, if individual files are selected, and only active when the root path is selected. Hitting "Download from here" does nothing except showing "Download from " status in the "File Transfer " window.

PyCharm docs state that downloads will only work if the deployment configuration has been appointed as default. But it is default (and only) configuration.

Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong?

It's a known limitation of the remote hosts support plug-in. Feel free to vote.
