Sublime Text 3 and Rails: manage an app on a remote server

1
votes

I'm new to Sublime Text and recently discovered the wonderful SFTP plugin on Sublime Text 3, which lets you work with a local folder and sync it to a remote server directory. I have some questions:

  • is it possible to sync the folder automatically once files are created or deleted, either locally or remotely, instead of clicking everytime on Sync Local -> Remote or viceversa?
  • is it possible to launch rails or rake commands from the Sublime console to the remote server and after that sync the local folder contents automatically?

My local machine runs Windows 10 whereas my remote server is a Ubuntu 16.04. Thanks in advance

Yes, but only for the files changed locally. Check upload_on_save.

Is it possible to launch rails or rake commands from the Sublime console to the remote server and after that sync the local folder contents automatically?

You cannot run such commands using a FTP client. You will need SSH access to the server for that.

A work around would be to set up a listener on your server that will trigger rails commands when files are changed.
