- Now click on the
basin
folder in the Remote tab, and you should see whatever files you have stored on thebasin
server.
At this point, if you click on/open a file, make an edit, and then save the file, a green box should pop up saying “File successfully uploaded”.
New Files
To create a new file from within Atom
, you need to right-click on the folder/directory where you want the new file to be. The image below shows the menu that pops up when you right-click on a folder. Selecting New File
will open a box allowing you to enter the name of the new file.

Rebooting or Restarting Atom
If you reboot your machine or restart Atom
, you’ll need your ftp-remote-edit
master password again. Just hit ctrl
+ space
to get the pop-up where you enter your master password.
If you forget your master password, there are ways to wipe out the old one and create a new one (see the Settings for ftp-remote-edit
and wipe out the Encrypted Connection and Encrypted Password).
