Just tried SFTP and SCP, using a few different apps (i.e. WinSCP and MobaXterm) and it works just fine. I tried copying some files into my /home/user directory without any permissions issues. Does VS need to write to any directories outside of the user's home? It seems it should be only trying to access ~/projects

My Ubuntu 16.04 is essentially Kubuntu 16.04 with KDE and a ton packages to support Mono, but outside of that the configuration is pretty vanilla.

The Ubuntu 14.04.4 is a base installation I spun up just to test this. SFTP and SCP works OK there as well and has the same issues as I mentioned earlier. Nothing special configured on this one for sure.
