Answer 1

same problem here. in the usage tutorial, Will says that the server config needs to be saved under sftp_servers/ folder, but doesn't say where this folder needs to be. I'm guessing this is the problem.

update:

I figured this out by looking around. The Command "browse packages" takes you to a folder where all the packages are installed, and there is the User/sftp_servers/ folder. If you copy your server config file to this folder, you should be able to browse the servers.

Answer 2

If you have a Windows PC, you can use Swish.
It will create a folder that is a remote connection to your SFTP. And best part, it's free.

Open your files in Sublime and get all sync.

Answer 4

While installing the SFTP make sure to select the "Install For" is set to "All Users" and "Default Text File Type" is set to "Unix/binary". I am sure this is the issue that is not letting you work properly on it.

Answer 5

For sublime text 2

./Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/User/sftp_servers

For sublime text 3

./Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/sftp_servers

So lets say you saved your "server setup" text file to your desktop as "foo". Open a terminal and do the following.

cd ~/Desktop
cp foo ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/User/sftp_servers/

This will make it available to sublime text's SFTP package. * you may/may not have to restart sublime.
