Sublime Text SFTP: Checking for Modification

When working with Sublime Text and SFTP, it's crucial to set up the right credentials to ensure secure and efficient file transfer. In this article, we'll go over the process of generating SFTP credentials and connecting to your server.

To get started, you'll need an SFTP client like FileZilla. Although the fields may vary slightly depending on the client you're using, the general process remains the same. First, fill in a new password that meets specific requirements or generate a secure one automatically by clicking the lock icon.

After creating your SFTP user, make sure to note down the SFTP address and port number provided in your User Portal. This information will be essential for connecting to your server.

The term 'Production,' 'Staging,' or 'Development' refers to the active environment you're working with. When restricting access to specific directories or files, keep the following paths in mind:

* To restrict a vendor to media uploads from April 2019: /wp-content/uploads/2019/04/

* To restrict a theme developer to all theme directories: /wp-content/themes/

Any directory above the specified path cannot be accessed, while any subdirectory below it can. Be sure to exclude HTTP/HTTPS and your domain when entering the path.

The 'Path' field is optional and allows you to connect to a specific directory. Once you've set up your password, make sure to copy or write it down before saving, as it cannot be viewed again if lost.

To set up your SFTP credentials, fill out the following required fields:

* Fill in the username

* Select the environment you wish to connect to

Each set of SFTP credentials is specific to one environment and should not be confused with your wp-admin or User Portal credentials. Before connecting, ensure that your client is updated, as outdated software can cause connection issues.

In addition to an SFTP client, you'll need SFTP credentials to establish a secure connection. By following these steps, you'll be able to set up and use your Sublime Text SFTP credentials with ease.
