So I added 'sudo' in the sftp subsystem path in my sshd_config file on the server, and it works - it can save with root privileges, it has the same result as if people would add 'sudo' in the winSCP client settings at the sftp path. Because I connect the editors SFTP client with a user from the wheel group that can be root in a passwordless way when executing sudo su.Īnd I have disabled root login to secure SSH. I thought there is some linux command or file that can be edited that would enable me to execute sudo at every file save, and even at every file open. In some scenarios Sublime Text fails to see files mounted via SFTP protocol with graphical file managers like Nautilus, Thunar, or Dolphin, and although files are visible throughout the system, they are inaccessible in Open file dialog.I am using Sublime Text editor with its SFTP plugin to edit files (also root files) on my server.
