If you haven’t already, you will need to install Package Control.To do so, you will need to have a couple things installed on your edition of Sublime Text: Having a direct connection to your remote server folder can make this process extremely efficient and, fortunately, Sublime Text offers the option to set this up.

And what happens when you decided you don’t really like your changes and want to revert to the old formatting? Well, the process needs to be restarted all over again. Unfortunately, with site building, I have found that the process needs to be repeated over and over again, especially when attempting new styles, scripts, and formatting.

This is quite a lot uglier than just fixing the files.When configuring a website, it’s extremely time-consuming/exhausting to have to make a file, upload it to your server and then run it on the server. Run ST3 as a user who can write there: sudo -u www-data subl /var/www/Rest_Of_Path_Here

Use ACLs to allow your user to write without disturbing the standard permissions framework.Ĭhange your workflow to write into a version control system (eg git) as your users, and then have a script running as the other user check it out.

But this is pretty risky if there's something malicious on the server already.

Change the file mask so other users can write (eg 777).

Add your user to the www-data group and change the file mask to 774 so members of the group can write/execute.

This may upset things running as other users that might also need to write, eg a webserver running as You don't have permission to write to /var/I didn't know it could do this but I've tested it and it works so there you go.Īllow your user to write the files directly.
