I like so much the Context feature of PhpStorm, localized in Tools > Tasks & Contexts > Save Context or Load Context
When I have a new computer, I can import all PhpStorm settings, but how to can I backup Context to my other computer?
Such data is stored in separate .zip files on per project basis (tasks and contexts separately -- 2 files per project).
On Windows 7 for PhpStorm v10 they will be located in C:\Users\USERNAME\.WebIde100\config\tasks folder.
For another OS/IDE version please check this document.

I want to try netbeans for web development. I created a new local project. I have my remote server files (javascript, php etc) accessible locally on my computer using sftp in linux, now I just want to add these files to the project but there is no 'add files' possibility. Have Oracle forgotten something so obvious as add existing files? I can't believe it.
To add an external file to your NetBeans project:
Select the file in the file system that you want to add to your NetBeans project using a file manager (such as File Explorer on Windows).
Right-click and select Copy from the popup menu.
Within NetBeans go to your project and position the mouse over the target directory to which you want to copy the file. You can do this in the Projects panel or the Files panel as appropriate.
Right-click and select Paste.
That's all there is to it. This works on Linux and Windows. You can also do drag and drop, though on Linux the file is copied whereas on Windows the file is moved.
There is no menu option in NetBeans such as File -> Import existing file to do this. Just use an external file manager.
Update/clarification:
The instructions above only specify how to copy an existing file into an existing project.
There is no way to include an individual file that is external to the structure of a NetBeans project.
However, it is possible to create a symbolic link (junction) from a NetBeans project directory to an external directory. To do that open a Command Prompt window as an administrator and enter a command similar to this:
mklink /J D:\NetBeansProjects\HTML5DemoCss\nbProject\MyLink2 C:\sftp
That will create a new directory in your NetBeans project named MyLink2 which maps to an external directory named c:\sftp. You can then process files in that external directory C:\sftp as though they were within your project directory MyLink.

I have my server setup in the remote host, and can see my directory, folders and files.
I would like to compare a whole folder on my local machine with what is on the server.
It works for individual files, but my developer has changed a whole load of files in the directory.
Please see screenshots.
I try and compare a directory from Remote host to the local server (see screenshot)
Says I failed to download the content of the file (...name of folder) - see screenshot
I try and compare one file (screenshot)
Works fine
How do I compare an entire folder, and see what has been changed?
As per official documentation from the link you have provided:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/2016.3/comparing-deployed-files-and-folders-with-their-local-versions.html#d30440e104
Comparing a remote folder with its local version
Open the Remote Host tool window.
Select the folder in question. Then choose Tools | Deployment | Sync with Local on the main menu or Sync with local on the context menu of the selection.
In the Differences Viewer for Folders that opens, explore the differences and synchronize the files, where applicable.
The same but when invoked from Project View panel:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/2016.3/comparing-deployed-files-and-folders-with-their-local-versions.html#d30440e154
Comparing a local folder with its remote version
This action is available only if you have a default server access configuration appointed.
Select the folder in question in the Project tool window, and then choose Tools | Deployment | Sync with Deployed to on the main menu.
In the Differences Viewer for Folders that opens, explore the differences and synchronize the files, where applicable.
In that Differences Viewer for Folders screen you can:
See a list of files with differences (or that do not exist of one of the sides) -- top part;
Choose any file and see the actual difference/compare them -- bottom part;
Also choose to upload/download such file(s) or merge them manually.

I've been working with SSIS reading different files - from CSVs to XLSXs - with no problems. My paths are relative, so SSIS searches for the files from the project's folder.
Well, today my colleague tried to run a package and he got a curious error message saying that the file could not be found under the "C:\windows\system32" folder. There's no configuration that would point SSIS to that folder and with me and a third colleague it's working well.
After some investigation we discovered that the problem has nothing to do with the user itself, but with how the user opens the project. Since the beginning I've been opening the project by double clicking the ".dtproj" file. My colleague first opens the SSIS development interface then opens the project file from the menu.
Has anyone noticed that behavior? What could be the cause for that?
error message print
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.30729.4462 QFE
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 3.5 SP1
Installed Edition: IDE Standard
This happens because the different ways of launching the IDE end up with different current directories for the IDE process. You can test this by creating a package with only a Script Task, with the one line:
MessageBox.Show(Environment.CurrentDirectory);
And then running this project after launching it both ways.
Double-clicking the project or solution file sets the folder containing that file as the current directory. (I assume this is standard Windows process launching behaviour when starting a process based on the file extension association.) SSIS packages then look in the current directory when the path to the configuration file is relative.
We use relative paths to configuration files all the time to simplify deployment, and have to always remember to open the solutions by double-clicking the SLN file.
PhpStorm keeps a Local History of all the files.
Does anyone know where these files are stored?
Local History is stored together with other index/cache files -- you will not be able to read it yourself if you wanted to copy/back up it separately -- it's linked to your current files and will get removed if you use File | Invalidate Caches.. for example.
Exact location varies on OS: Directories used by the IDE to store settings, caches, plugins and logs.
On Windows 7 for PhpStorm v8 it will typically be in C:\Users\USERNAME\.WebIde80\system\LocalHistory folder.
I work on multiple computers with different operating systems. One of the IDEs I use a lot is PHPStorm and I am looking for a nice solution to sync all of the files and all of the settings for the project. I am assuming that the project specific settings are in the .idea folder however the ftp settings are stored elsewhere.
What is the best way to sync ftp settings between multiple computers? Can this be done easily via VCS or is there another better option?
File | Export Settings... and then File | Import Settings... for manual sync.
The ordinary file sync (via any software) will do as long as it's the same OS/platform and all computers have similar folder structure (in terms of used tools, projects locations etc) -- that's mainly for settings that include references to 3rd party tools or list of recent projects etc. General settings (non path related) like "Live Templates" or "Color scheme" can easily be synced.
IntelliJ Configuration Server Plugin is definitely worth checking out -- http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/4560?pr=phpStorm
As for project settings -- they are VCS-safe. Excluding workspace.xml, which is intended for use on that computer/user. https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/23393067-How-to-manage-projects-under-Version-Control-Systems
