Trouble saving remote file via SFTP
Submitted by hommealone on Friday, 6 October, 2023 - 00:22
I'm having trouble saving edited remote files via FTP plugin. (I'm using SFTP.)

I get this error:
[jEdit Worker #3] [warning] VFS: Backup of remote file {file} failed, because there is no backup directory.

What does this mean?

I have already done this:
"A workaround is to disable two-stage save in the General pane of the Utilities>Global Options dialog box."

What troubleshooting steps can I take? Any suggestions on how to get it working?
