Installing FTP plugin in Sublime Text 3/2

Long story short

Notepad++ has NppFTP plugin but its keepAlive timeout problem for FTP connection made me to switch to Sublime Text 3 . We will install FTP plugin on Sublime Text .

Long Story

We will be using Sublime FTP — Its free trial can be used continuously with popups in between

Package control for Sublime text -

“Package Control is the Sublime Text package manager. It includes a list of over 2,500 packages available for install, and users can add any GitHub or BitBucket repository themselves. Once installed, packages are kept up-to-date automatically.”

Go to https://packagecontrol.io/installation

Copy the appropriate script as per Sublime 2/3
