Can't connect to online ExpressionEngine server

#1

I had to reboot my Mac and lost my Sublime Text connection to my online EE server. (I’m working direct to files on my website server, not offline.)

I have set up my sublime.json with all the setting that were working before the reboot.
But now, when I try to SFTP browse the server I get these error messages

/Users/mac/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text/Packages/User/sftp_servers/:pathwaysoflight.sublime-workspace

Error parsing server config file :pathwaysoflight.org:html:healingjrnl:user:templates:
Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Error parsing server config file pol.sublime-workspace:
Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

I only have one project I am working on. I don’t need workspaces for multiple projects.

What do I need to do to recover my SFTP access to EE system?

It sounds like you’ve perhaps saved the project/workspace on the remote server? Presumably SFTP is configured in the project, so you need the project to start the connection.

Not entirely sure what might have fully gone wrong for you, but the filenames that it’s mentioning don’t look correct. In particular, server configuration files for SFTP, while having a fully open ended naming scheme, generally are not sublime-workspace files.

In any case, the error message you’re seeing there is related to the fact that the configuration file needs to be JSON (in the same relaxed format as most Sublime config files, so comments are OK and so are trailing commas).

It looks like the first character in the file is not { as expected; maybe double check what the config looks like?

I am still unable to SFTP browse my ExpressionEngine server. I get error messages that there is no remote_path specified in …Sublime Text/Packages/User/sftp_servers/:username.-sublime-workspace.
I have confirmed that the settings in the SFTP Setup are the same as what previously worked.

I quit Sublime Text and restarted and got the message:
Unable to read project /users/computer name/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text/Packages/User/sftp_servers/:‘username’.-sublime-project

I also received a message to submit a support request with an error log to codexns.io. It has been 7 days since I submitted the request, but no response.

Is there any thing I can do to start over with a clean slate and start with the SFTP server setup that I have experienced works?
