Crete New Project -> Existing Sources !gone!

Hi there,

(these are actually 2 different threads with the same name)

In short:

• This functionality was removed from WebStorm v11 (apparently it has some issues that makes it not really usable in more-or-less complex setups)
• If you are actually using PhpStorm .. then make sure that Remote Hosts Access plugin is enabled
• In any case -- you can always create empty project and then download whatever you need using IDE (just that wizard made this part a bit easier):

1. 1. Create empty local project
   2. Go to your "Settings/Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Deployment"
   3. Create new Deployment entry of required type
   4. Configure it (all tabs)
   5. Mark it as Default for this project
   6. Use "Remote Host" tool window. If not available -- use "Tools | Deployment | Browse Remote Host" to bring it up
   7. Browse trough your remote server and download all desired files/folders
