Setting default application to open files through FileZilla?

  • 772

I have installed Sublime Text 2. I have set all the default files to open with this. However, when I open a file from my server using FileZilla (by right-clicking and file and then click "View/Edit") it still opens up in Gedit.

Can I change this?

    You can set it by going to edit > Settings, and then going to the Filetype Associations section and adding the filetypes and the editor you want.

  2. Go to Edit -> Settings and navigate to File Editing.

    Choose Use custom editor and browse the executable file of Sublime Text 2.

    Close the dialog by pressing OK.

  3. Write in the terminal : dpkg -L sublime-text to check the sublime current location.

    And then try to find something like this : /usr/bin/subl

    Now you just need to go to - edit - settings - Filetype Associations

    And write the following : 

    html /usr/bin/subl

    to open in the same window

    and...

    html /usr/bin/subl -open

    to open in the new window :)

  4. If you installed sublime-text via snap on Ubuntu 18.04 you can use

    /snap/bin/sublime-text.subl

    You have to change the preference as for the executable file exist in /usr/bin/$PATH for editor.

  7. You can set it by going to edit -> Settings in filezilla, and then go to Filetype Associations section and add the filetypes and the editor you want for them.

    html /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text

    /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text is executable path of the sublime text editor. You can enter your own path of executable file.

  8. You can find directory your installation, in my case, the directory of install of sublime is: 

    snap/sublime-text-/24/opt/sublime_text/sublime_text

    Case you have installed your FileZilla, can you open your old configure file, for it, you can use the commands:

    vim ~/.config/filezilla/filezilla.xml

    or

    vim ~/.config/filezilla/filezilla.xml

    in the file, you search the word "editor" using the command: /editor

    look a picture

    In line has the directory of your old text editor.

  10. For Ubuntu 16.04. First, find out where your Sublime-Text is located: go to usr/bin and double click sublime-text. You should see something like:

    #!/bin/bash

/opt/sublime_text_2/sublime_text --class=sublime-text-2 "$@"

    Copy just the beginning of line 2:

    /opt/sublime_text_2/sublime_text

    Add html to the front:

    html /opt/sublime_text_2/sublime_text

    Go to edit -> Preferences -> Filetype associations and paste that in.
