How to open remote files in sublime text 3
I am connecting to remote server using "mRemoteNG" and want to open remote server files in my local sublime text editor. During my research, I found this relevant blog https://wrgms.com/editing-files-remotely-via-ssh-on-sublimetext-3/ and followed the instructions but it is not working for me. Does, anybody know how can I open remote files in my Sublime?
Solution 1:
On server
Install rsub:
wget -O /usr/local/bin/rsub \https://raw.github.com/aurora/rmate/master/rmate
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/rsub
On local
- Install rsub Sublime3 package:
On Sublime Text 3, open Package Manager (Ctrl-Shift-P on Linux/Win, Cmd-Shift-P on Mac, Install Package), and search for rsub and install it
- Open command line and connect to remote server:
ssh -R 52698:localhost:52698 server_user@server_address
- after connect to server run this command on server:
rsub path_to_file/file.txt
- File opening auto in Sublime 3
As of today (2018/09/05) you should use : https://github.com/randy3k/RemoteSubl because you can find it in packagecontrol.io while "rsub" is not present.
Solution 2:
On macOS, one option is to install FUSE for macOS and use sshfs to mount a remote directory:
mkdir local_dir
sshfs remote_user@remote_host:remote_dir/ local_dir
Some caveats apply with mounting network volumes, so YMMV.
Solution 3:
You can use these plugins；
Sublime SFTP
sublime FTPSync
