Hello, I need some help with the SFTP plugin for sublime. I installed it a few days ago because I wanted a better solution than sshfs for my remote coding work, however I cannot seem to get it to work with my archlinux based remote machines. I always get “Error parsing remote folder listing” when trying to download the folder from the remote machine. I made sure that the encoding is configured correctly in sftp-config.json. SFTP does work when I test it with my raspberry pi running some debian variant (and an older version of openssh…).
I did already open a ticket on https://codexns.io/, but no response so far. I’m hoping someone else had/has this issue and knows an easy fix for it. Pinging @wbond, just in case. sftp from the command line and filezilla both work with the remotes in question.
Here are some potentially useful dumps:
- sftp cmd line output:
Connecting to SFTP server "robot-pc-oort" as "felix" .... success
Validating remote folder "/home/felix/git/libfranka/" .. failure (Error parsing remote folder listing)

Let me know if I can provide additional info that could help.
Looking at errors it seems number of directories could be the issue at least in my case - it is replaced with question marks ?
