Reading/Writing directly on the server via FTP/SFTP SFTP package is super useful on Windows, but it seems not easy to find such kind of convenient solution on Mac yet. if you want to have a development environment like Visual Studio Code. You can open the cloned remote folders on navigation pane, open, modify and sync-up with remote server easily. |
You will need to follow below steps
...
- Create a folder → Drag & Drop onto Sublime Text and you will see the folder navigation pane on left side.
- Move mouse cursor on top of the created folder (_default in this case) → click mouse right → click SFTP/FTP → click Map to Remote...
Edit your json file (host, user, port, and remote_path) → save the file (it will be saved as sftp-config.json)

- Move mouse cursor on top of the folder (_default in this case) → click mouse right → click SFTP/FTP → click Sync Remote→Local to get the update-to-date code from the server
- You are all set. You can simply select codes on navigation pane and modify it easily.
- Once modification is done, you can sync up with the SFTP server by moving mouse cursor on top of the folder (_default in this case) → click mouse right → click SFTP/FTP → click Sync Local→Remote or Sync Both Directions
Even though this is straightforward and easy, but it may not safer for the user mistake - it could erase all the source code on the server, so you'd better to use Version Control System like Git or SVN.
