PHPStorm suddenly cannot resolve SFTP sites Follow

Do you have anything unusual in your ~/.ssh/config?
If not, please add #com.jetbrains.plugins.webDeployment and #com.intellij.ssh to Help | Diagnostic Tools | Debug Log Settings, restart the IDE, try to upload a file, and then share the logs (Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data) via our upload service.

I do not have a ~/.ssh/config file

I should add that I am now unable to even launch 2021.1 EAP. It immediately goes into “Not Responding” mode and stays hung until I force quit it. When I do so, I get /var/log/system.log entries like the one below:

Feb  2 08:55:24 mrspeel com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (application.com.jetbrains.PhpStorm-EAP.76807415.76808232.4200E11C-F9FB-4C1B-934E-6A79748B589D[41732]): Service exited with abnormal code: 143

I’m seeing log entries like these three when I attempt to launch 2021.1 EAP:

Feb  2 08:59:50 mrspeel phpstorm[43615]: getattrlist failed for /Library/GPUBundles/AMDRadeonX6000GLDriver.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ATIRadeonX6000SCLib.dylib: #2: No such file or directory

Feb  2 08:59:50 mrspeel phpstorm[43615]: getattrlist failed for /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Resources//GLRendererFloat.bundle/GLRendererFloat: #2: No such file or directory

I am only able to launch 2020.3.2, which also can no longer connect to sites or sync IDE settings.

I was successfully able to use PHPStorm two days ago, up until I got the notice that 2021.1 EAP had been installed. 

It's not about SFTP even, your log is filled with Socket Closed messages generated by various subsystems. We can't get your config from JetBrains Account, we can't connect to our Marketplace.
Why do you have this in your Help | Edit Custom VM Options?

-Dhttp.proxyHost -Dhttp.proxyPort -Dhttps.proxyHost -Dhttps.proxyPort -DsocksProxyHost -DsocksProxyPort

Eugene, I have no idea. Should I try removing the lines to see if it helps?

Edit: I’m in 2020.3.2 and go to Help | Edit Custom VM Options. The file that PHPStorm opens is “PhpStorm 2020.3 EAP.app.vmoptions” and the contents are:

I don’t see the lines you mentioned above.

Definitely. A restart is required after the file modification. Also, make sure you don't have a proxy configured at Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | HTTP Proxy.

I don’t have a proxy configured, but see the alert message below: I have no idea what it means, I’m afraid. I don’t touch Java on this computer, beyond installing the updates the Java “preference” app recommends.

There are no *.vmoptions or *.properties files in the path you mentioned above.

There is a .vmoptions file at

~/Library/Application\ Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/PhpStorm/ch-1/203.7148.74/PhpStorm\ 2020.3\ EAP.app.vmoptions — is it safe to edit the file in, e.g., emacs or BBEdit?

I used Toolbox to uninstall PhpStorm and reinstalled:

PhpStorm 2020.3.2

I am still unable to sync settings or upload files. I have uploaded a new log set at

Upload id: 2021_02_02_NeFxjwHDGGq5GmWd (file: phpstorm-logs-20210202-112153.zip)

Preferences > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > HTTP Proxy still has the same error as in my earlier post.

Those arguments are now gone from the VM options, but apparently, it wasn't enough.

I have no idea where this https.proxy comes from. Please try the following:

1. Close PhpStorm.
2. Download and install PhpStorm from the DMG package: https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/download/
3. Rename the `~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/PhpStorm2020.3` directory.
4. Rename the `~/Library/Caches/JetBrains/PhpStorm2020.3` directory.
5. Start PhpStorm from the Application pane, the one you just installed from the DMG.
6. Create a temporary deployment configuration and check if it can connect now.

Eugene, when I followed the steps above, PhpStorm launched and immediately re-opened the last Project I had been working on in the previous app version.

The application is still unable to sync settings or connect over SFTP to a host, including creating a new temporary deployment configuration.

I renamed the other PhpStorm directories (PhpStorm2020.2, PhyStorm2021.3) that were in both locations you mentioned above, then removed the newly-created PhpStorm2020.3 directories. That reverted the new install to an unlicensed copy. I was unable to activate with our license information. Suspecting it was due to the Java socket problem, I elected to evaluate for free. As soon as I created a new project, I saw the error flag about not being able to sync IDE settings. I was unable to connect to any SFTP hosts in a new deployment configuration. The error I got was the same as above, Socket Closed.

Under Preferences > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > HTTP Proxy, I see the same error message as from my screen shot before.

I have uploaded a new log set: Upload id: 2021_02_02_NfPshWFrcTgvKtki (file: phpstorm-logs-20210202-124853.zip)

That's rough. Please share the output of the printenv command.

Hm. Could you please uninstall Little Snitch temporarily to see if it's what is causing the issue?

You’re a genius—with Little Snitch off, everything works fine. I still see the JVM proxy error, but I’m able to SFTP files again.

Great, I was running out of ideas already. Thank you for the update!
Also, it seems to be possible to configure Little Snitch in such a manner that it doesn't block PhpStorm, but for a Toolbox-managed installation, it's a bit harder because the configuration has to be re-done on each update:
