How to setup and run Sublime Text over SSH, so that you don't have to rely on nano or vi or some such

Raw

sublimetext_over_ssh.md

Technique for opening files on remote server with Subl:

Run this on local machine: Install the rsub package in Sublime Text using the Sublime Package Manager printf "Host *\n RemoteForward 52698 127.0.0.1:52698" >> ~/.ssh/config ..... this adds the port needed by rsub

Execute this on remote server: sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/subl https://raw.github.com/aurora/rmate/master/rmate; sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/subl

SSH command now needs to be this: ssh jason@remoteHost -p 1977 -R 52698:localhost:52698 ... where 'remoteHost' is the IP address of the server/droplet

You're now using Sublime Text over SSH.
