To sync the folder, you generally move Packages/User/ into your Dropbox and create a symlink to it from Sublime Text 3/Packages/.
#Sublime text 3 sftp install#
If this file is copied to another machine, the next time Sublime Text is started, Package Control will install the correct version of any missing packages. This folder contains the Package Control.sublime-settings file, which includes a list of all installed packages. Then to sync only the Packages/User/ folder. By syncing the actual package contents across operating systems, you will possibly run into broken packages. The reason for this is that some packages have different versions for different operating systems. To properly sync your installed packages across different machines, you actually do not want to sync the whole Packages/ and Installed Packages/ folders.

Finally, I decided to look into it which led me to what I would consider the authoritative description of how to sync Sublime setting between multiple machines using Dropbox: I’ve been syncing my Sublime settings for a while between multiple locations, all running OS X. How should I set this up? How to solve this problem? Solution no.

I would like to sync Sublime Text 3’s Settings across multiple machines using Dropbox. For more information on the plugin, visit the official page.

However, the trial never ends - just prompts you to purchase every so often. Just like Sublime Text itself, the plugin is not officially free. There is also a ‘Server’ workflow which allows you to work directly off the server. Note that this is the ‘Remote’ workflow whereby you are editing a copy of the files on your local machine. The SFTP/FTP menu also provides some additional options such as Syncing your Remote/Local directories and Browsing your remote. If all is setup correctly, you should be able to push files to the remote server. If you get a lot of Connection Refused errors from Sublime and No authentication found errors in the SSH logs, this could be the reason. For *nix systems this should work fine, however on Windows it turns out that Sublime uses PSFTP (PuTTY SFTP) instead, so it expects a PuTTY private key file (. This caused me some confusion initially as I used the id_rsa OpenSSH key I use for SSH under Cygwin. As such, change the ssh_key_file property to point to the absolute path to your key file. You could use a password, but you really should be using public key authentication. home//projectįinally, you will want to make sure you are authenticating in some way.

This is where you tell the plugin where to map your local directory to on the remote server.

Once configured, a sftp-config.json file will be created. This is done through the SFTP/FTP context menu on the right click context menu of your root directory. You then have to configure the plugin for use on your current project. To install, simply open up Package Control through Ctrl+Shift+P, Select Install Package and select SFTP.
