Remote FTP

FTP/FTPS/SFTP client for Atom.io

Getting started

1. Open an existing project or create a new one (File -> Open folder...)
2. Open remote-ftp sidebar (Packages -> Remote FTP -> Toggle)
3. Create a configuration file for your project (Packages -> Remote FTP -> Create (s)FTP config file)
4. Once connected you should be seeing the content of the remote connection
5. All basic commands (connect, disconnect, ...) are available from the sidebar context menu and the Command Palette

Tip: Create an ignore file to prevent your sensitive information from getting synced to your host (Packages -> Remote FTP -> Create ignore file)

Keyboard shortcuts

We all know that some handy commands can make our daily task easier, this are meant to do that, be aware that the action of any of them could overwrite or be over written by any other plugin.

Package preferences

There are some settings hidden in the package preferences!

How to use .ftpignore?
