I have created a project with 3 local files and 5 remote files via FTP.
I open all 8 of them and include in the project. Then close UE. When I reopen a UE and open the project it brings up only 3 local files and ignores 5 FTP files.

I was expecting Project to be opened with all 8 files. Each time I have to go the project settings and then select/open 5 more files which is really annoying.

Is this a bug or am I missing something??

In the configuration panel, you will see an option to 'Reload FTP files when reloading project files or last open files'
