Awesome. Thanks for the update.

One bug is I can’t paste a password into the new password dialogue on windows. I have to type it in manually.

I’m having the same issue. This is pretty common in any ftp access where there isn’t a keep-alive setting on the server or ftp client. It would be nice if Sublime SFTP would just auto-reconnect when a connection timeout occurred.

Sublime SFTP does automatically reconnect when a disconnection occurs – it just appears you’ve run into some situation that no-one else has run into and sent me info about. Please visit support@wbond.net.

Unfortunately, detecting disconnections has been more complicated than I would have guessed. :smile: So far I’ve tracked down at least 10 different ways python will fail with an FTP disconnection using ftplib and a whole host of separate issues with the OpenSSH sftp program and psftp. The changelog includes a rather lengthy list of the number of releases I’ve made that include fixes for various disconnection error modes.

With any luck I will have version 1.7.0 out later tonight or tomorrow which will include some features to help in capturing info about previously unreported errors.[/quote]

The new update did the trick. SFTP is now reestablishing my connection. Thanks!

I’m having a small issue: when i try to create a ftp connection, i get a freezed editor. I have to close it, and when i’m open it again, sftp.json is there, everything work smooth after that.

i noticed that on windows and osx, but with the same config files.

Probably is a conflict with another package, dunno, i didn’t tried too much things (to be honest, i dont create that many ftp connection, so is not a biggie), but i feel like is good to let you know.

I have a problem with your plugin related to a memory leak. I’ve opened a sftp connection in one window and synchronized a server folder locally (700 Mb). At some point I’ve closed the download and opened a ftp connection. After a few minutes sublime was using aprox 2.4 Gb of memory.

When you say “create a connection”, are you referring to creating a new remote, creating a new server, or connecting to one of those? Any more details you can provide can potentially help me track this down.

The only time I’ve ever seen this is if the activity indicator kept printing dots forever in the output panel due to an uncaught exception. If you can replicate this, please send me a debug log (wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp/support) and a copy of the output panel contents. With that info I can fix it.

Map to remote.

But after that is working flawless. That’s why i’m telling this is a low priority (for me) :smiley:

I just purchased your plugin. I must say that it made my working routine so much easier. I have to say though that $16 is pretty overpriced BUT considering that I am a happy user of your other plugin it a worthwhile support of a great developer… :smile:

Here is a problem I have: My session usually closes after some time, which is obvious. But when I try to send a file after that, SFTP tries to connected for a pretty long time with an endless number of dots and finally fails with a “Invalid login credentials” (no password prompt). When I then try to send a second time, I get the password prompt very quickly and the connection is reestablished…

Thanks!

I appreciate your purchase! I realize that some people may feel like $16 is steep, but it is a reflection of the amount of time it saves developers, the amount of development and support time and effort it has taken me to get the plugin to the point where it is today.

In terms of the issue with reconnecting after a disconnection, can you turn on debug logging (support@wbond.net? Please be sure to include the platform you are running on and the version of Sublime you are using. If I can reproduce this (so that I can confirm that I can fix it) I will try to include a fix in the next release.

Hi wbond

Thank you for adding the “SFTP” under a submenu on sidebar. Much appreciated. :smiley:

I’m starting to use the package frequently and I want to mention:

Bug: For some reason, when selecting “SFTP -> map to remote” on sidebar. The application freeze and I had to kill sublime text. however when I restart the file “sftp-config.json” is created correctly.
Windows XP, sublime 2175, SFTP 1.8.3

Clarification needed please:
I can’t figure out how to upload only modified files. Looks like “synch” browses and checks the entire server making the upload super slow.

Ideal: will be to “cache an id” of every uploaded file and when the user selects “Upload file/folder” only the modified files of the selection will be uploaded. Probably this will need a menuitem “clear cache of uploaded files”, if you can make the “cache” persistent between sessions that will be awesome.

Regards,

I just got a confirmation of this yesterday and I am working on a fix. Thanks for the note!

Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, Sublime SFTP provides this exact functionality, provided that your code is inside of a Mercurial, Git or SVN working copy. It uses the version control system to track changes, and the Upload Changed Files command (wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp/ … y_Bindings) uploads those files.

Thanks for clarification!

I’m afraid this will not work for me. I work with people that don’t use VCS, and I also don’t use it for some projects.
There is also complex setups on which I have repos inside repos, such simil and *real *submodules…
There is also files I don’t want to put on repos but maybe I upload these to servers… there is also the opposite… why not…

Is to much to request a preference to add what I described before? such “remember_uploaded_files”

May I don’t understand how it works.

Some little things I saw:

I have on Sublime a project folder with path “\cat-pc\htdocs”

When I request via sidebar “STP -> browse remote” on subfolder “docs” this error pop-ups:

2012-02-08 13:30:30 Traceback (most recent call last): File "./sftp/threads.py", line 16, in run_with_except_hook File "./sftp/threads.py", line 101, in handler File "./sftp/commands.py", line 239, in run File "./sftp/commands.py", line 373, in do_operation File "./sftp/ftp_transport.py", line 347, in lcd NotFoundError: Folder not found

When trying to use the function “Upload VCS changed File” this error popups:

The git.exe binary could not be found on your system. Please edit "C:\Documents and Settings\tito\Datos de programa\Sublime Text 2\Packages\User\SFTP.sublime-settings" and set "git_binary_path" or install git.

I’m sure git is on path.

Last time i used this feature (upload changed files), I wasn’t able to upload files that i staged & commited.
If nothing had changed, there is a way to something like „upload files from revision” ?

The solution you are proposing sounds like the “upload_on_save” feature might do what you want. In a future release I may be able to keep a list of saved files and if there is no VCS then upload the files in the saved list and reset the list after uploading. Would this work for you?

If you could shoot me an email with those two bugs, I can file it with the other bug emails so I ensure they get fixed in the next release.

I understand what you are looking for, but really this starts getting real complex real fast to support 3 different VCSes and their different models for revisions and an interface to browse and retrieve the versions of files for those revisions. To do this there would need to be pretty tight integration with a more full-featured VCS plugin for the VCS you are looking for.

That said, all of the SFTP commands are documented in the key bindings file, so it should be possible to create your own plugin to do all of the introspection of the VCS and export the appropriate files, then use the SFTP plugin to upload them.

Mail sent :smile:

Yes please, it would be very good to keep track of already uploaded files. And when selecting “upload folder/file” only modified files gets uploaded.(besides whatever there is git or not on project )
It would be very good too, if you can save the list of already uploaded files on a session file ( internal if possible, not on project directories. )
Handy probably is to add a “clean uploaded file cache” menuitem, to forget these entries.

This way upload command will work very fast in a very practical manner.

Hell I’ve been using this plugin for a few weeks and it’s recently started crashing my installation of ST2 on upload. Not always and from what I can tell there really is not pattern but it happens consistently, say, 20% of the time now. Seems to be worse the longer I go without making an upload. :frowning:

Version 1.9.0 is out, and it should fix this crashing issue you’ve experienced.
