Hi.

I currently have tunneling setup to access the ftp files on my aws instance using Winscp from local dev machine.

I would like to be able to access the ftp using the IntelliJ Idea so that i can use the compare with features etc of IntelliJ.

Is there a way inside IntelliJ Idea to access ftp on ec2 using tunneling like WinScp?

Thanks

Hi,

The FTP feature in IDEA doesn't support the SSH tunnel or proxy directly for connecting FTP on your AWS instance.
If you need to use a tunnel, you could refer to a guide below to use the putty to create the tunnel, then use the IDEA's FTP feature to connect the local port for it:
