I do not want to use vi in a remote server, especially when dealing with large amounts of coding work. Instead, I want to write code on my laptop with sublime and make it simultaneously sync to a remote server.
SFTP, a plugin for sublime can deal with the problem above, which can map a local folder/file to remote folder/file. Here is how I setup this plugin.
