With a little time spent on configurations and installing a plugin, Komodo Edit enables you to edit files on your desktop and then upload those files directly to your remote instance.

Since the Komodo Edit server configuration can rightfully be a royal headache that will cause you problems both today and through the rest of the course if you are not careful, '''you do not need to follow these steps unless you are a brave soul.'''

== Configure your Server Settings in Komodo ==

Once you have your public key in your SSH agent (if applicable), follow these steps to tell Komodo how to connect to your remote instance.

# Open the Komodo Edit Preferences. In Windows, this is '''Edit -> Preferences'''; in Mac OS X, this is '''Komodo -> Preferences'''.
# In the menu on the left, choose '''Servers'''.
# For Server Type, select '''SFTP'''. (Since you have an SSH server running, you will be able to connect to your instance via SFTP.)
# Name it something like '''CSE 330 Cloud Instance'''.
# Enter the details of your instance, including your hostname and username.
#* If you are using Public Key Authentication, leave your password empty.
#* Unless you explicitly changed your SSH port, your port will be '''22'''.
# Your default path will be where you want to save the files you upload. Generally, this should be the root of your web server.
#: [[File:Workflow-3.png]]
# Press '''Add''' to save the server information, and then press '''OK'''.
# '''Mac OS X Users Only:''' You need to perform these additional steps in order to make Komodo use your private key when connecting to your server.
## In the Komodo Edit Preferences, choose '''Environment'''.
## Find the information about your SSH environment by entering the command ''ssh-agent'' in Terminal. You should see output similar to:
##: <code>SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-xxxxx/agent.xxxxx; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
##: SSH_AGENT_PID=xxxxx; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
##: echo Agent pid xxxxx;</code>
## Add the following environment variables in Komodo:
##* '''Name:''' SSH_AUTH_SOCK
##* '''Name:''' SSH_AGENT_PID
##: The values for these environment variables should be what you learned earlier in step 2.
## Press '''OK''' to save your changes.
# To test whether Komodo is able to successfully connect to your server, choose '''File -> Open -> Remote File'''. Select ''CSE 330 Cloud Instance'' from the drop-down menu. You should be able to see a list of files in your public_html directory.

== Installing Upload Extension ==

Strangely, Komodo Edit does not come built-in with a mechanism to upload files from your computer to the server. Fortunately, the community has released an add-on that gives us this feature.

# In Komodo, go to '''Tools -> Addons'''.
# Search for the add-on named ''Uploader''.
# Download and install it, and restart Komodo.
# In your Server preferences, create a new server (or rename an existing one) to be identical to your project name, but starting with a star. For example, in my project named ''FileShare'', I would name the server ''*FileShare''. The ''default path'' will be the location to which Komodo will upload your files. '''Note: The path should be absolute.'''
# You can now select a file and go to '''File -> Upload''' to upload it to your server.

'''Tip:''' To make things quicker, you can bind a keyboard shortcut like ''ctrl/cmd+D'' to the Upload feature by following these steps:

# In Komodo preferences, choose '''Editor -> Key Bindings'''.
# Find the "Upload" command under "General". Press in the "New Key Sequence" box, and press ''ctrl/cmd+D''. Proceed through the on-screen instructions; you can name your new scheme ''Custom''.
# Save the preferences and restart Komodo. You will now be able to upload files by simply pressing ''ctrl/cmd+D''.
