I’m using Sublime Text 2 SFTP to connect to EC2 instance path and I’m trying to sync Remote -> Local.
Connection is success and Remote Folder Validation is success.
Then comes the “Determining operations to sync remote path” and it keeps counting dots for ever.
I suspect it has something to do with the user’s permissions but I’m not sure about it. The directory’s permissions (recursively) is 700.
Has anyone encountered this issue?

Thanks.

i have the same problem , any fix guys?

I got the same problem.
You guys found a fix for this?

I got it to work it seems… just let it stay for like 5 minutes.
It just need a lot of time “processing” something, it will eventually start to download - probably a few seconds after you decided to close it down anyway

No change in v3 apparently. Can’t help but wonder what the conversation is between sftp and the server (AWS). =Op

You can see what is going on by turning on the debug setting: https://wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp/support#Generating_a_Debug_Log

Thanks! I realize now it was probably the number of files involved – node_modules being the main culprit. Minus those, and the app works fine (I really appreciate the watch facility).

This post is old but still available in search engine without solution. So I thought I would share my experience here. I was facing the some issue. It can be resolved if download the whole website from C-panel and save in the directory you want to map and then use the Sync Both Directories option instead of using Sync Remote -> Local. Hope this will work. If anyone has other solution please share.

Thanks

Had the same issue, and resolved it.

It could be as easy as put in the wrong remote_path. As soon as I fixed it, it went through in a couple of seconds. You might want to double check that as well.

Note: since many replies so far indicate different scenarios/solutions, I think this really is a general text indicates “something” is wrong, but not obvious.
