Using winscp

#1

I really like this editor, except for one very big problem, I use it with winSCP to edit files on a remote machine. I used editPlus in the past with no problems. But when I use sublime, I not only get the file that I am editing but three other files,
Sublime(no extension) ,Text(no extension), and sublime_text.exe loaded into the editor. Why? What am I doing wrong?

First thought was: how do you call st from winscp.
Second thought: S.A.F. : https://winscp.net/eng/docs/integration_editor

By the way: It’s more helpful for anyone in the community if you provide a little more information,
such as:

  • your OS (in this case it’s obviously Windows) and Version (would be something from XP to 10)
  • the sublime version (and channel)
  • the way you are calling one program from the other

Win 10,sublime build 3103, winscp is calling exactly as shown “…/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/sublime_text.exe” !.!

Hmm, short test - all fine. No such problems, neither with nor without an already running Sublime.

My Settings:

  • external Editor, path\to\sublime.exe !.!
  • use this editor for following files: .
  • External Editor Options
    • External Editor opens each file in separate… UNCHECKED
    • Force text transfer… UNCHECKED

All my settings are the same. Here is what I get when editing getSensor2.js:
