PhpStorm project and network share

Question

I need to debug a remote server and I setup a PhpStorm project based on a Shared Folder on the server.

The problem is that the project on the server is 13 GB in size and PhpStorm start downloading the files.

Is there a way to debug with Xdebug without downloading the files and use a network share? Not allowed to use SSH as there are many tutorials.

Thanks a lot for the help.
