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).
