Once configured, accessing a the new server is done through the ST2 quick panel, ⌘+Shift+P. The plugin allows for navigation but I find it is quicker to have separate settings, one for CSS editing, one for post editing and one for template editing. I configure separate connections for each location I want to quickly open in ST2. There are good instructions available from the developer. The plugin will automatically create the settings template for you and then you just need to add your own server connection settings. Similar to other Sublime Text settings, it involves editing a json text file. The SFTP plugin must be configured for each server. It’s also a good way to support Will and say thanks for making the Package Control system. An extra $16 is not going to break the bank. I reported a bug on Windows and received a personal email to help figure out what the problem was. But the plugin is fully realized and comes with great support. It may sound exorbitant to pay an extra $16 for an FTP plugin for Sublime Text. The SFTP plugin is an additional $16 from the same guy, Will Bond, that makes the indispensable Package Control plugin and service.

I use it for work and for making quick corrections on Macdrifter.

I use the commercial Sublime Text plugin Sublime SFTP every day. A good FTP based text editor is essential. 1 I have used Notepad++ on Windows for years and I’ve never been thrilled with the FTP plugin.ĭropbox is an amazing technology, but an FTP client is still a critical tool that I suspect will be needed for many more decades. While this post was inspired by my move to a static blog system, I regularly need to interact with text files on remote servers over FTP.
