How to use one Remote server on multiple projects in PHPStorm?

I'm having a little trouble with PHPStorm and Remote Servers. The great thing about this IDE is that I can specify some settings for global enviroment, or per Project. But I guess it does not include settings for Remote Servers.

For example, consider this scenario. I have a remote server on example.com. On that server I have 2 folders: example.com/project1 and example.com/project2.

In PHPStorm I created 2 projects with the name of Project One and Project Two. But I had to create 2 Remote servers with specific root folders. For example for Project One's remote server's root folder is specified to example.com/project and for Project Two the folder example.com/project2.

So my questions is, how can I set the one remote server globally, so I could use it for different projects with specific root folders for each one?

The main server settings - id, name, type, host, root path, credentials, i.e. all content of Connection tab of server's settings - are stored globally. To be more precise, in //config/options/webServers.xml. So it's available for all projects. Contents of two other tabs of server settings - Mappings and Excluded Paths - is saved per project in .idea/workspace.xml

So, to share 1 server between several projects, make sure to set the server doc root/root URL in Connection tab and specify projects-specific stuff on Mappings tab
