README file from Sublime SFTP
Thanks for installing Sublime SFTP! Below are some quick notes to get you started with the plugin. Please see https://wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp for the full documentation.
There are two major modes of operation:
To map a local folder to a remote folder, right-click on it in the side bar and select the SFTP/SFTP > Map to Remote... You will enter your connection parameters and a new file will be created named sftp-config.json.
Once this file has been saved, all files in that folder and all subfolders will have various operations available via the side bar context menu, editor context menu and command palette.
To work off of a server, use the File menu and select SFTP/FTP > Setup Server... You will enter your connection parameters and options then save the file with the name you want to give the connection.
Once the server config is saved, you will be automatically connected to the server and you can browse and perform actions via the quick panel.
Unfortunely due to limitations of the Sublime Text API, it is not possible to present the remote filesystem in the side bar. There are, however, key bindings for connecting to servers to help reduce the amount of time remote file operations take.
