Hi Adam, Full Disclosure: I typically don't use the workflow you describe to edit files on a remote server... So anything I write here is purely based on about ten minutes of testing.
I was able to come up with a really rough test using a NAS connected to my network and a small toy project. It seemed to have worked without issue. Inline eval worked for the project as well as viewing and saving files from the project stored on the NAS. I was using Windows 8.1 and Light Table 0.8.0 (just the version on the system... should still work fine with 0.8.1 I think). I am not sure about active mode with regards to the server, though. You might have to do some testing to confirm that one. Cursive is another solid replacement that might meet your requirements, should Light Table's FTP functionality not pan out... feel free to open an issue if you find it is lacking. Hope that helps, Scott On Tuesday, February 28, 2017 at 2:10:18 PM UTC-5, Adam Warnock wrote: > > I want to preface this by saying that I know I have been doing this wrong > and I want to do it right.
