"new file" is greyed out on remote s
For some reason I can create a file on my local system and upload it to the remote, but I can not create a new file on the server using the "new" options (which are greyed out). Is this a feature or a bug/config/user error?

Hi there,
AFAIK -- feature.
This IDE is built on "local code first" idea -- any remote is just a copy therefore new files must be created in the source (local).
Well, there are some options available:
Do you mean that context menu?
Dmitry, yes...on my system on the remote side the "new" is greyed out. According to Andriy, that is by design, as you must create files locally first.

I actually though you meant "File | New" (Alt+Insert using Default keymap) -- it would normally be empty when invoked on Remote Host.
I'm rarely using Remote Host tool window (even when using -- it's just to check the presence or delete some file) .. and did not checked how the context menu looks now. I remember that it had "New Directory" option (which I never used) but presence of "New File" is new to me.
In any case: maybe it's greyed-out for you because you are trying to use it in not-mapped path or something? Can you check your Deployment entry Mappings tab (at "Settings/Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Deployment")? Can you upload/download files and they got created in the right place?
