@schoentoon yeah, I've opted for a similar solution in the mean time, the #nppFTP plugin in #NotePadPlusPlus, which also supports #SFTP.
Also doesn't support #puTTYPageant #keyagent by the looks of it unfortunately, but I can at least use pubkey authentication.
Don't really want to subject this poor old #EEEPC to #vsCode; don't think a full-blown IDE would run very well. ;)
