PhpStorm 9: Why doesn't the remote path's directories/files display when connected via FTP

Question

I am trying to connect to a remote host in PhpStorm 9 via FTP and it connects to the host but does not display any files/directories.

I am able to ftp and see files/directories just fine via FileZilla with the same ftp profile/settings I used in PhpStorm 9.

Why am I not able to see files/directories via FTP in PhpStorm 9?

**1)** Double check the login details/IPs **2)** Make sure that you are seeing correct folder **3)** Make sure that you are using correct connection (in case if you have more than one set up) **4)** Try switching between Active and Passive FTP modes. — LazyOne, Sep 29 '15 at 21:26

Additionally I had to switch from FTPS to FTP to show me the list of directories (even if it could also connect via FTPS successfully). – Alexander Taubenkorb Nov 22 '17 at 08:57
