How reconnect to remote host after losing connection?

Is there a way to reconnect a remote debugging session without losing the current state?

I'm running WingIDE Pro v6.1.5-1, and I'm using remote debugging between my Windows 10 Pro host system and an AWS EC2 instance. For some reason (thank you, aws!), the SSH connection seems to have been lost. The project thinks some state hasn't been saved.

The editor thinks it's saved my files, but when I attempt to close the file I get a complaint that says "Failed to write remote project file tms_dev_covid_project:covid_project.wpr (opt.covid): <class 'filenotfounderror'=""> [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'opt.covid/covid_project.wpr'" followed by another complaint that says "Some remote files could not be saved within 15 seconds. Please check the network and try again: tms_dev_covid_project:covid_project.wpr (opt.covid) The timeout for this is configured with the Network > Hung Connection Timeout preference."

The remote files are still there and have apparently already been updated.

Is there a way to reconnect, or should I just kill the local IDE instance (using task manager) and restart?

You could try reconnecting from the Remote Hosts dialog by selecting the host and using the probe icon (the rightmost one), but it may not solve it if it's confusion on the IDE side and not the lack of connection This code has been rewritten and greatly improved in Wing 7, where it should just reestablish a connection to the remote agent and keep going (most of the time, anyway).

I do have W7 but the effect is still there. Killing the remote (by reboot or whatever) makes the debugger loose connection. The offered Probe does not re-setablish the connection. However switching between default and remote project does. It looks like the probe uses the same IP6 address which will have changed due to a reboot?

What is the error from the probe in the Remote Hosts dialog? Wing generally uses ip4 not ip6. It's unlikely the ip4 address would change from a reboot even if using DHCP but you can check it with 'ip address' on the remote side (or possibly 'ifconfig' depending on type of system). Also, note that any debug connection is separate from the remote agent connection and even if the remote agent reconnect you need to separately restart the debugger or the Python Shell.
