Are there best practices for setting up XDebug in PHPStorm for FTP debugging?

Setting up XDebug in PHPStorm for FTP debugging can be a bit tricky due to the remote nature of FTP connections. One common approach is to set up a mapping between the remote server and your local machine in PHPStorm's deployment configuration. This mapping allows PHPStorm to correctly map the remote file paths to your local file paths for debugging purposes. 

// Example PHPStorm deployment configuration for FTP debugging with XDebug
// Go to PHPStorm -> Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Deployment
// Create a new deployment server for your FTP connection
// Set up the server with your FTP credentials and specify the root path of your project on the remote server
// Go to PHPStorm -> Preferences -> Languages & Frameworks -> PHP -> Servers
// Add a new server and configure the server name, host, port, and absolute path mapping to map the remote server paths to your local machine paths
// Make sure to enable XDebug in your PHP configuration on the remote server and configure PHPStorm to listen for incoming debug connections
