Navigate to AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\humy2833.ftp-simple. Open ftp-simple.json. Change the Content:

Replace the existing content with the following plaintext JSON: [{ "name": "name", "host": "host", "port": 21, "type": "ftp", "username": "name", "password": "password", "path": "/", "autosave": true, "confirm": true }]

Step 2: Comment Out Line 980 in extension.js Locate the File:

Navigate to .vscode\extensions\humy2833.ftp-simple-0.7.6. Open extension.js. Comment Out the Line:

Find line 980 and change it from:

json = cryptoUtil.decrypt(json);

To:

// json = cryptoUtil.decrypt(json);
