Recently I've moved from Aptana to Sublime Text 3. In Aptana there was a nice connection manager which allowed me to connect my local files to a different Drive, and I could then upload my local changes to that Drive.
I'm wondering if there is anything like that for Sublime. I can't find anything at the moment. It would also be ideal to have one where I upload the file myself (not done automatically).
Something like the sublime SFTP package, but runs with two local directories.
Any help is appreciated.

I want to edit the code through the IDEs text editor and debug and run it on the server.
Download Notepad ++ here
Download WinScp here
Connect to your school's server with winscp, then navigate to whatever file you would like to edit. Right click and set the default editor to notepad ++. Now everytime you open any file, you can hot edit inside notepad ++.
I know i perhaps strayed from your full request, but i like this method for quickly updating code and testing on the server.
I am heavily using Sublime SFTP's "Monitor file (upload on external save)" feature in combination with CodeKit for a "semi-local" developing workflow (files and git are local, but everything is ran remotely).
Each time CodeKit compiles a file, Sublime SFTP uploads the output to the development web server.
But Sublime SFTP keeps forgetting it's monitoring tasks, it's not very reliable.
Is there another tool that simply watches a file and uploads it on change? Can be command line too.
PS I've been to http://css-tricks.com/deployment/ - there is a Grunt Add-On that would do this. But as I'm using CodeKit, I guess that's not suitable.
Got it.
Having set up ssh set up with ssh-copy-id, registering a Hook in CodeKit to call scp works.
scp ~/mylocalprojects/path/to/main.css user#server.com:/home/user/public_html/path/to/main.css
Great!
Before I attempt to program the following function myself, I wonder if something already exists.
What I would like to do is click an edit link on my website for a given document, and have that document launch in the native editor on my local machine (via a temporary file mechanism).
When I save the document in the native editor, the document is HTTP PUT back to the website. This can be accomplished by watching the file for writes, or watching the editor process for exit.
This way I can more easily edit documents on the web (instead of going through the download / edit / upload cycle).
My design would work as follows:
Register .webedit files on the local machine.
When a .webedit file is downloaded, launch webedit.exe with the file.
The file contains a URL (http://server/document) which is checked against a security database to ensure we're only opening allowed URLs.
The URL is downloaded to a temporary location.
The temporary file is launched in the native editor.
The file is watched for changes, and uploaded (HTTP PUT) on change detection (or when the editor is closed, if it's not a single-instance multiple-document editor).
Lots of FTP / SCP GUIs have this type of functionality, but I have not been able to find it for the web in general, or a shared library that allows you to plug in to this function.
Has anyone seen a program that does this?
SharePoint works like this.
It's great for managing shared documents in corporate environments.
Users can even checkout/checkin documents & the features are very extensible..you can customize pretty much anything if you know how.
Edit:
Since you're on Linux..i've heard that Alfreco is a great alternative.
I've never used it, but I know a couple organizations using it instead of SharePoint.
It integrates with Microsoft Office as well.
Also, it will definitely be cheaper.
I have a web application project that I publish via Visual Studio 2010 to my server. My problem is that it can take very long time before it can actually publish it. Maybe 10 minutes! It doesnt happen everytime but very often.
Here's a summary of what i have in the Output -> Build console when I try to publish:
The project is compiling - OK
Connecting to C:\Users{user}\Desktop\MyProjectTest... (this is where it can take up to 10 minutes)
The files are publishing...
Process Explorer
When I open ProcessExplorer, I see that devenv.exe is taking all the CPU. When I open this process, I see that the task that consume all the CPU is clr.dll!StrongNameSignatureVerification+0x11ee1. As soon as this task finish, after 10 minutes, the publishing task finish quickly.
Process Monitor
With Process Monitor, I have monitored the TID of clr.dll!StrongNAmeSignatureVerification and I've got MANY redondant events. For over 5 minutes, the task try to access a file that I don't have on my computer. He is searching for Microsoft.Build.Task.resources.dll. It's like if the publishing task was trying again and again and again something that doesnt exist. For your information, I'm using Windows 7 French with Visual Studio 2010 English. On the screenshot, you see like 10 events of over 2000 events of the same thing!
More info on my setup
Here is some info that can help to identify the problem:
My application is build with MVC3
I have a few third party dlls. Some of them are signed.
I'm publishing with the File System method.
I tried to publish on my local computer and the problem is also there so its not a network problem between my computer and my server.
I have tested on Windows 7 x86 & x64 French edition
My Visual Studio 2010 SP1 is the English edition
UPDATE 2011-09-23
I now know how to solve the problem BUT I don't know what is causing it. If I delete the **.suo file (at the same level as the .sln file) and i reopen Visual Studio, the publishing will be really fast. So reinitializing the .suo file seems to solve the problem each time the publishing get slow.
Just to make another test, I've made a backup of the .suo file when the publishing was slow and deleted it. Now the publishing is fast. If I copy the .suo file back to his position and reopen Visual Studio, the publishing will be slow again. So all seems to point to that file.
Any idea on this one?
Try this way
In order to deploy the release on the development or production server, please follow the following steps.
Install Web Deployment MSI.
Right Click on the your project under the solution explorer and add the web deployment project( Here I am not using convert to web application or publishing)
Then compile the files. This will create a folder in your project directory which will contain the required files to be deploy on the server.
Take the back up of your virtual directory and remove the virtual directory as well as files from inetpub.
Goto Inet mgr , type inetmgr in run hit enter.
Under the default website, create a virtual directory, keep the deployed files in the inetpub and browser the files.
Allow appropriate access such as read, run script and browse. That's all
Flag it as your answer if you have find it useful else let me know ...
I am not sure if it's a suo file that is causing, but for me, this solved the problem.
After compiling, the publish will call aspnet_compiler, which actually takes longer as it is generating custom dll for all code.
But check with your VSPackages, is there any package written for some interpretation or so, that might be interrupting your publish.
I just experienced the same problem publishing to a network share and discovered that copying the files in Windows Explorer was also extremely slow. When I zipped the build folder and copied it across it took a few seconds. I conclude that the VPN OR Antivirus OR Firewall at one end or the other are adding some overhead to every file transfer.
Windows is far faster transferring 1 giant file than transferring thousands of tiny files, even it the net size is the same. So try this:
Publish to a local file (not directly to the IIS file share).
Zip the local files (these files will compress well).
Use file explorer, delete the IIS file share files.
Copy/paste the local zipped file to the network share.
Unzip the files on the server using file explorer.
(you will not have to remote into the server to do this)
This accomplishes a couple things. 1) Its 1 giant file, not thousands of tiny files. 2) The compressed file will be compressed 50% to 80% so the data transfer over the wire will be that much smaller.
If you need a backup, its the same process in reverse but without publishing. I typically use L7.zip, but the built in windows zip will work. I don't know why Visual Studio cannot do this programmatically.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 and trying to publish a Web Application Project, but it keeps failing when trying to add files in the project. Below is a sample of the message;
Publishing folder JavaScript... Unable
to add 'JavaScript/hoverIntent.js' to
the Web site. Unable to add file
'JavaScript\hoverIntent.js'. The
specified file could not be encrypted.
This happens for image files too. I am lost as to why it is happening. I should add that I am using Windows 7 build 7100, not sure if this is casuing the issue??
Any help greatly appreciated
I know this is an old topic, but I found it when I googled for the same problem.
My solution was to remove the "Encrypt" flag from Windows Explorer for the files listed (Right click -> Properties -> Advanced)
This blog post at BlackMarble is suggesting that you may have the target directory set to use encryption. Sounds like the exception you're seeing is the inability for the VS publish process to handle that.
To get around this problem:
use VS to publish to an intermediate directory. Somewhere on your PC perhaps.
copy the files yourself (with a batch file maybe) to the server
That's a workaround, at least.
Disable windows encrypted file system in cmd with the following:
fsutil behavior set disableencryption 1
Then restart your PC.
When I had this problem on publishing a Visual Studio 2010 web project either to a local folder or to a host, I was stumped. Visual Studio didn't indicate which files or even folders had caused the problem. I wasn't aware there were any encrypted files in the solution and I couldn't find any. I was unable to update my website.
I googled how to find encrypted files but none of the solutions involving efsinfo.exe were appropriate to Windows 7 then I found an example using the cipher command:
https://superuser.com/questions/58878/how-to-list-encrypted-files-in-windows-7
There were a number of different answers to finding the encrypted files. I used the command prompt method.
I opened a command prompt in the root of my application and did:
D:\Data\Code2011>cipher /s:MyWeb >Encryption.txt
I then did a case sensitive search in Encryption.txt for lines beginning E[space] or 'the file is encrypted'
I found two .htc files which were encrypted in a styles subfolder and was able to unencrypt them in the advanced tab of explorer file properties.
The Web then compiled and published OK.
I had this issue as well. I set the source files properties to not be encrypted but that still wasn't working. Turned out that the files were cached in the temporary deployment folder and I had to uncheck encryption there as well. It probably would have worked to delete the temporary deployment directory but the other way worked.
