Add a remote folder as a first-class project so terminals, files, and workflows start directly on the target machine.

Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Opening a remote server used to be a setup ritual: find the host, verify the key, install `sshfs` if needed, mount the folder manually, and only then start working. Remote SSH Projects collapse that ceremony into the Add Project flow. Pick a saved host, choose the remote directory, and open it as a real project inside 1DevTool so your remote workspace behaves like a local one from the first terminal onward.
How It Works
Get started in 4 simple steps
Choose Add Project → SSH
Open the SSH tab in the Add Project flow and pick a saved remote connection.
Select the Remote Folder
Enter or browse the remote path you want to treat as a project.
Mount With Guidance
If the machine is missing a dependency such as `sshfs`, 1DevTool surfaces that requirement instead of failing silently.
Work Like Local
The mounted folder becomes a normal project with terminals and file workflows starting directly on the target machine.
Without 1DevTool

Why It Matters
The productivity impact of having project management built into your workspace
Remote Feels Local
A server folder becomes a normal project surface with terminals and file workflows attached.
Onboarding Gets Shorter
Remote access starts from Add Project instead of a separate chain of shell commands and manual mounts.
Dependency Problems Surface Early
Missing requirements such as `sshfs` are shown directly in the flow instead of failing later in confusing ways.
Better for Real Maintenance Work
Hotfixing, debugging, and inspecting remote code become part of the same workspace you already use locally.
