I still haven't manage to transition from Notepad++ to Sublime although the former is crap and I ranted about it already several months ago. I just can't seem to find the time it takes to configure Sublime to my likings. It seems like a great IDE, but it's hell to set up an FTP browser like the one in Notepad++. Of course I have googled (or rather binged) the problem, and tried suggested solutions but still no joy. How hard can it be to just set up an FTP connection to my web host and browse its directories/files in a sidepane? How do I achieve this, anyone have good advice to share?

    @Torbuntu True enough, it's a source code editor, but where do you draw the line between a plain source code editor and an IDE? Granted, when working with compiled languages you need a compiler and debugger as well. But when working with web projects with interpreted languages, a source code editor with an integrated FTP client/browser is all I need.

    One of the solutions I've tried is to set up a web disk (webDAV) to the the ftp host. It's supposed to work just like any device in Windows 7. Well, it doesn't. When trying to open a directory in Windows File Explorer it opens like 50% of the time. In Sublime it doesn't open at all. No error message neither. Nothing happens.

    I finally managed to get it up and running, by using a package called Sublime FTP, adding a folder and set up a remote connection on that folder. Took me a while to figure the howabouts, Sublime FTP isn't exactly what I'd call inutitive, but as soon as you've got it figured out it, it actually seems to work pretty well.
