How to open remote files in sublime text 3

Question

I am connecting to remote server using "mRemoteNG" and want to open remote server files in my local sublime text editor. During my research, I found this relevant blog https://wrgms.com/editing-files-remotely-via-ssh-on-sublimetext-3/ and followed the instructions but it is not working for me. Does, anybody know how can I open remote files in my Sublime?

Answer 1

On server

Install rsub:

# wget -O /usr/local/bin/rsub \https://raw.github.com/aurora/rmate/master/rmate
# chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/rsub

On local

1. Install rsub Sublime3 package:

On Sublime Text 3, open Package Manager (Ctrl-Shift-P on Linux/Win, Cmd-Shift-P on Mac, Install Package), and search for rsub and install it

2. Open command line and connect to remote server:

# ssh -R 52698:localhost:52698 server_user@server_address

3. after connect to server run this command on server:

# rsub path_to_file/file.txt

4. File opening auto in Sublime 3

As of today (2018/09/05) you should use : https://github.com/randy3k/RemoteSubl because you can find it in packagecontrol.io while "rsub" is not present.
