Hello,

I recently discovered sublime text when I got my Mac and have been using it every day since buying my license.

I have a few questions about features and want to figure out if theres a way to accomplish this using the software.

In the past I used to use Dreamweaver because of its ability to have a local working copy of files that it pushed to the server when saving changes. I was hoping there is some way to do this with the software.

I know I can open a folder on a network drive and whatever I edit will be saved but wasn’t sure if there was a plugin or way to have a working folder I did the changes in and then have it push the contents to a network path upon saving instead?

This might do what your looking for.

packagecontrol.io/packages/Rsync%20SSH

Assuming you can reach the other machine by network mount or ssh

Rsync is a linux command line tool if you want to do some separate reading about how it works.

If you are using FTP for your remote work then SFTP can be set up to work in a manner where the remote branch is synchronised locally too. Check out SFTP on package control.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I am not using FTP however. I mount a Windows share within OSX and that’s how I upload files to the server.

I need a way where I can work from a folder on my computer and any changes that I make get pushed to the share. I will check out Rsync and see if i can get it working.
