  • Go to the editor and press ctrl+shift+p on WIndows/Linux, press cmd+shift+p on Mac.
  • Type Install Package Control, and press enter
  • If everything goes fine, you will see the dialog like below


STEP 2. SFTP Package Installation

  • Go to the editor and press ctrl+shift+p on Windows/Linux, press cmd+shift+p on Mac.
  • Type Package Control → select Package Control: Install Package → wait for a while till package list populate
  • Type SFTP and you will see the SFTP package → select SFTP box and hit enter.


STEP 3. Setup a connection

  • Create a folder → Drag & Drop onto Sublime Text and you will see the folder navigation pane on left side.
  • Move mouse cursor on top of the created folder (_default in this case) → click mouse right → click SFTP/FTP → click Map to Remote...

  • Edit your json file (host, user, port, and remote_path) → save the file (it will be saved as sftp-config.json)
