jmate

A node.js port of rmate. Allows you to remote edit files in TextMate or Sublime Text through an ssh session.

Installation

On server, install node.js and jmate.

npm -g install jmate

Configure ssh to tunnel to your local machine using a remote port

ssh -R 52698:localhost:52698 [email protected]

Or, put this in your ~/.ssh/config to enable remote forwarding for your server(s):

Host example.com
    RemoteForward 52698 127.0.0.1:52698

Sublime Text

Install package rsub

Usage

Usage: jmate [options] <file ...>

  Options:

    -h, --help        output usage information
    -V, --version     output the version number
    -h, --host <str>  Connect to host. Use 'auto' to detect the host from SSH. Defaults to 'localhost'.
    -p, --port <num>  Port number to use for connection. Defaults to 52698.
    -w, --wait        Wait for file to be closed by editor.
    -l, --line <num>  Place caret on line <num> after loading file.
    -n, --name <str>  The display name shown in editor.

You can also set default host and port options for jmate in /etc/jmate.rc or ~/.jmate.rc. Additionally, the environment variables JMATE_HOST and JMATE_PORT will set the host and port options as well. For backwards compatibility, rmate.rc and RMATE_ can alternatively be used.
