remote_path should point to the directory you want to push changes to on your remote server e.g.Change port to whatever port you have SSH running on (you shouldn’t really be running on the default 22).Change user to whatever user you have SFTP (SSH) setup for on your server.Change host to point to your remote servers IP/domain.I like to set upload_on_save to true so the most recent copy is pushed to the server whenever I save a file (great timesaver).Make sure type is SFTP not FTP (we like security).This is where you tell the plugin where to map your local directory to on the remote server. Once configured, a sftp-config.json file will be created. This is done through the SFTP/FTP context menu on the right click context menu of your root directory.

You then have to configure the plugin for use on your current project. To install, simply open up Package Control through Ctrl+Shift+P, Select Install Package and select SFTP.
