Edit files on your DirectAdmin server directly from Visual Studio Code. This extension uses the modern DirectAdmin REST API and VS Code's FileSystemProvider so remote files feel like local files — no FTP or SFTP required.

Features

Login — Connect with server URL, username, and password (stored securely via VS Code SecretStorage)
Import Website — Pick a domain and open its public_html folder in the workspace
Explorer — Browse domains and files in a dedicated DirectAdmin tree view
Read / Save — Open files from the server; saving uploads changes automatically
Refresh — Reload the remote file tree
Logout — Clear stored credentials

Requirements

Visual Studio Code 1.85 or newer
A DirectAdmin server with the modern /api/... REST API enabled
A user account or login key with file manager access

Verify session	`GET /api/session`
List domains	`GET /api/session/user-config`
List directory	`GET /api/filemanager/list`
Download file	`GET /api/filemanager/download`

Authentication uses HTTP Basic Auth as described in the DirectAdmin API documentation.

npm run watch     # watch mode (used by F5 launch)

Security Notes

Passwords are stored in VS Code SecretStorage, not in settings or workspace files.
Use a dedicated DirectAdmin login key with restricted permissions for production use.
Server URLs should use HTTPS.
