HELP! Uploaded project via FTP and all local files deleted!
Webstorm newb here. I successfully made my project sync with ftp, and then it sucked all of my files onto the server and deleted them from my computer! Now I only have remote access to the files. My local folders are empty, bone-dry. This is just unacceptable.
I assume this is some sort of setting. I have tried the documentation, which is thin on what every menu option does. I have tried hunting the forums for hours, which offer little. Stackoverflow says nothing. I cannot find an answer.
I would like my files to be on my computer so I can manipulate them and still run the dummy copy of the site in my localhost browser. Then I would like to push them onto the site, when the new features work.
Thank you to anybody! I will be checking here periodically.

Hi there,
How did you that "sync with ftp"?
IDE only uploads files and folders from local to remote when you use any of the Upload/Sync actions and does not delete anything locally.
The only way it can delete while uploading is if you have used drag & drop and moved your files between Project View and Remote Host panels -- here by default it moves files; for copy you have to use it with Ctrl button pressed.
