Setting up Remote Editing using Atom

Atom is a modern, hackable text editor to which you can add packages. Using this editor we can edit the files remotely on the cluster and synchronize via sftp -- ftp through ssh.

Once you completed connecting to ComputeCanada with ssh, follow these steps to set remote editing on the cluster from your local machine:

  1. Install Atom package ftp-remote-edit by clicking File->Settings->Install and type ftp-remote-edit in the search bar.

  2. After completion of installation, press Ctrl+Space to set your password to ftp-remote-edit. It is a mandatory step required by the package.

  3. Press Ctrl+Shift+p on Windows (or Command+Shift+p on Mac) and enter ftp remote edit and find Edit servers command.

    Fill out the box to look like this

    • Hostname as cedar.computecanada.ca
    • Protocol as sftp
    • Use your own username and password for ComputeCanada
    • Set the initial directory to be /home/YOURUSERNAME

  4. Now on the left panel inside Atom you can see Remote, and then double click on the server you just set. You can add/delete/edit files now, and they will be directly synchronized on ComputeCanada.
