I'm aware of Sublime SFTP, but so far only managed to work with local folder that synced with the remote folder. I wonder if there is a way to work directly on the server, without having to download the files to the local machine, like PHPdesigner does.

seems like this thread already supplied several alternatives to that issue.

I personally use sshfs over osxfuse, which is a generic solution allowing me to treat the remote server filesystem as local.

  • Hi Tal, I'm not sure this is what I was looking for. As I mentioned, I want to work directly on the server, without having to sync the files to a local folder. My OS is Windows 8.1, don't have Mac or Linux. – yuvalsab Dec 09 '14 at 21:35
  • Hey Yuval, SSHFS has a Windows version as well and the equivalent to osxfuse is win-sshfs. I googled it a bit and found Windows instructions here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-sshfs-to-mount-remote-file-systems-over-ssh – Tal Dec 13 '14 at 18:16

As much as I hate to use absolutes, you should NEVER develop into a server. Always work locally (search local development environments with VirtualBox, AMPPS, etc) and then deploy to the server. Even testing servers.

Reasons:

  • working outside of version control is irresponsible and dangerous
  • data integrity is compromised with DBs shared across environments
  • efficiency
  • SECURITY ( buggy development code can expose vulnerabilities) not to mention using unencrypted FTP exposes credentials, etc

Simply put: if you develop directly into a server with FTP or SFTP or whatever, you are doing it wrong
