Here is some example documentation: /2009/04/mou … macfusion/. It is actually way simpler, and free, on Linux using sshfs. That process of listing folders tends to be pretty slow for lots of servers. No, it doesn’t need to download all files, but it needs to list every remote folder to find all of the files to replicate as blank files. Would it be possible to delay closing the panel at least until the quick-panel has been closed? Seeing all the files listed in the sidebar is mostly just a convenience, albeit a very nice one.Īlso, an irritation I found when trying to download several individual files using the quick panel is that it disappears when the bottom panel is closed, so downloading several files in a row (from multiple folders) is a bit frustrating with auto-close turned on.
Filezilla has the ability to edit remote files using temporaries too. It could just create blank ones to match the structure of the remote machine.ĮxpanDrive doesn’t work on Linux. I get that downloading the list of files is slow (FTP is slow as a general rule) but it wouldn’t have to download all the files. Unfortunately this is not always feasible based on project constraints. There is still the limitation that you need to rsync pretty frequently if other users are also modifying the files.Įventually people tend come to the conclusion that using a version control system is the best way to handle multiple people working on the same files, and ensuring that data is not lost. This can very efficiently detect the differences between files and it only transfers the data necessary to synchronize the two copies. This requires that the user have SSH access to the box and the rsync program installed locally and remotely. The way to get the absolute best performance of working on remote files as if they were local is to make a local copy and use rsync to copy down the latest changes. Some users find it fast enough, other find it too laggy. It is usually that a user has a large folder structure, or a connection that is no super-fast that causes it to be slow process.įor users that want to work on remote files as if they were local, with the full functionality of Sublime, you should try out. Normally when syncing remotely to locally there aren’t that many files changed.
The slow part is recursively parsing every remote folder to see the current contents. It would take as much time as it currently does to do a remote -> local sync. So, I know that Sublime doesn’t currently have an API for custom sidebar items, so I was wondering, how hard would it be to create fake files in the filesystem so they show up in the sidebar and have them download when they are opened the first time?
