Notepad++ like ftp plugin

#1

I have been a Notepad++ user for years until I made the transition to Sublime Text. While Sublime Text is easily better than Notepad++, infact any text editor for that matter. I still miss the ftp workflow I had when I used Notepad++. I’ve tried Will Bond’s FTP Plugin, but I still feel the FTP file window pane was much better. Is a window pane listing ftp server files (as in Notepad++ ftp plugin) within the scope of Sublime Text Plugin API?

Is there anyway I can get a similar ftp workflow. I hate doing the syncing stuff with Sublime FTP Plugin.

I would really like this as well.

I feel the development for Sublime has halted a little, which is a shame because it’s the first thing that makes my web development brain cool down over the idea of buying a mac.

It is not currently possible to manipulate the sidebar via the API. There is some more info and other options documented at wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp/faq#SideBar.

Thanks alot Will.

I think it would be a great addon if Sublime text can have panels in its plugins. Maybe somebody from dev team can tell better, if that’s a possiblity in near future.

P.S - Till then I would look into your solutions. I tried SFTP Drive but it crashes very frequently :frowning:
