Re: Edit remote files using local copy of BBEdit via sftp
Authored by: szedula on Aug 16, '05 11:09:31AM
On OpenBSD I needed to change:
alias bbedit 'ssh ben@$REMOTEHOST bbedit "sftp://$USER@$HOST/$PWD/!:1"'
to:
alias bbedit 'ssh ben@$REMOTEHOST bbedit "sftp://$USER@$HOST/$PWD/\!:1"'
Will this be the same in other UNIX systems?

Also, the BBEdit bookmark needs to have the numeric address in the "Server" field. The first time I tried this I typed the "name" of the system so I still needed to type in the password for the OpenBSD system.

Yes, you have to escape the exclamation point when you define the alias on any machine (including on Macs).
