Live Edit Over SFTP

I love the new Connect with SCP/SFTP options. However...


Once connected, I would like to be able to open/edit a file without first having to manually download it. If I make changes/save the opened document, I want the changes to be pushed back to the remote host.

Hello thanks for the update. Seems that is working perfectly. I already tried it, it uploads the edited file. Really great work! Thanks so much.


Now i need to find how i can specify the program for each type of file. 


PS: one small thing which i saw is that once the file is uploaded the popup on the upper right which inform you that the file is updated, is not going away after a bit, you need to close it ( i am not sure if this can be controlled from your program or not).


Question: The file is live edited or is downloaded first? I ask in order to know if after X edits i have to delete the temp files etc from somewhere.


Thanks again for your GREAT work

Hello again, one small thing which should be maybe usefull, to move one file from the sftp list , inside to one folder with drag and drop. 


thnx for the great work

@Daniele: The beta is already available since a couple of months and you can get it here: https://www.royalapplications.com/ts/mac/features-beta We don't have an ETA for the stable release just yet.

@Christos, if you can replicate this bug, open a support ticket and include the steps to replicate.

Hello yes working perfect now. Thanks for the instant fixing

@Christos: Perfect! Glad to hear it's working fine for you! =)

Hi,

In this thread it is mentioned that a Beta version for Mac supporting live-edit over SFTP is ready, and people is confirming that it works.

I've version 3.3, and when I use File Transfer plugging and connect over SFTP, I don't see any edit/live edit option.


Is that because I've using Mac version?


Thanks.

Regards

Hi Ivan,


to open and edit a file, just double-click it. We then watch for changes to the file and if we detect a change, we upload the modified version to the remote server.


Hope that helps!


cheers,

felix

Hi Felix,

Thanks for that quick one. One works perfectly.


I have also another topic related. While double-click works to edit it, some files are simply not opened for edit. I do just simply the same "double-click" and some opens and some not. I wonder if that depends on something like the file extension, but I've checked and not.

The only thing that I notice is, that when the file that I try to double-click for edit, has an empty logo/icon it doesn't work.

For example, if the icon on the left of the filename, is an empty and white one, it doesn't open the file at all.


I've tried to refresh the remote folder, close and open again the tool, but nothing.


Thanks for help.


Regards,

Iván

When will that next "big release" be released? Because as it stands now, I'm afraid the feature is almost useless. If I double-click on .sh files, they are downloaded and then run! If I double-click on .py files, they are downloaded and run! etc.. I really hope the next release allows a setting to override the system associations of a file and ALWAYS open it with specified editor. I don't want to destroy my file associations by associating everything with my editor.
