Seems to be sending to local instead of remote

[cliff-in-auld-reekie]

I use a normal install and the following simple config:
{
"name": "Servers",
"host": "",
"protocol": "sftp",
"port": ,
"secure": true,
"username": "",
"password": "",
"remotePath": "/web",
"uploadOnSave": true
}

So, when I change a file and save it (Mac-OS 14.6.1) I expected it to send to remote but get:
[08-21 11:28:21] [info] [file-save] <local_vs-code_source_location/filename.css>
[08-21 11:28:22] [info] local ➞ remote <local_vs-code_source_location/filename.css>

I have replaced all private data with descriptions in <...>

It all used to work fine and I'm not sure what changed to cause it to continually fail.

Sometimes an uninstall including removing all extension data from VS-Code and refreshing fixes it, then later it regresses.

It may be when I switch networks but I'm not sure. Anyway, it seems rather odd that it'd try to send back to the file's own location.
