TextWrangler remote control

Published on 20. May 2011 in Mac. 4 Comments Tags: , , , .

Do you ever wanted to open a file while logged in a remote server via ssh on your local TextWrangler/BBEdit? Now that’s possible!

TextWrangler/BBEdit can open files per sftp (via ssh). This set of tools allows it you to launch edit on a remote server, but your local TextWrangler/BBEdit opens the file.

Get it here: TextWrangler remote control

BBEdit: I haven’t tested it, but it should also work. (I do not own BBEdit)

    I’m trying to set this up but get the error permission denied when trying to run /edit-server.c

    I also get the same error from edit-ssh.sh

    thanks,
    e

    @iHuman:
    the edit-server.c must be complied (and not executed, see doc), in case of the edit-ssh.sh use “chmod 755 edit-ssh.sh” to fix it.

    I’m quite enjoying this.

    My only feedback would be to allow the server to be stopped by calling the binary with a kill-flag (like “-k”): Closing it from Activity Monitor, or passing it a ‘kill’ from Terminal is the only current way to stop the process, if it’s not in interactive mode.

    @Steve: Sounds like a cool idea. I’ll add it. Thanks for the response.
