These are the main fields I usually change from the default (from top to bottom of the file): In here, configure, information about your server, including the server directory on which your site is hosted and information about your login and password. Right-click on the folder and select the option SFTP/FTP → Map to Remote.Ī new file called “sftp-config.json” will pop up in your Sublime Text window. Create a blank folder on your computer directory into which all your site files will be placed once you connect to your remote server.Once you have the Sublime SFTP package installed, the real fun can begin. Type in “SFTP” and download the first package that comes up. To do so, open up the Command Palette (Cmd + Shift + P on a Mac), find Package Control: Install Packages, and run it. Once you have Package Control installed, you will need to install Sublime SFTP package.You will need to restart Sublime Text in order for changes to take effect. The easiest way to do this is to copy the text corresponding to your edition of Sublime Text and to run it via the application’s console, which can be accessed via View → Show Console. If you haven’t already, you will need to install Package Control.To do so, you will need to have a couple things installed on your edition of Sublime Text: Having a direct connection to your remote server folder can make this process extremely efficient and, fortunately, Sublime Text offers the option to set this up. And what happens when you decided you don’t really like your changes and want to revert to the old formatting? Well, the process needs to be restarted all over again. Unfortunately, with site building, I have found that the process needs to be repeated over and over again, especially when attempting new styles, scripts, and formatting. When configuring a website, it’s extremely time-consuming/exhausting to have to make a file, upload it to your server and then run it on the server.
