For those of you looking for a remote edit tool, this is not the tool to use. Don't get me wrong, it performs the basic needs of a remote edit package, but it has the enormous downside of largely being abandoned.
Not only are these more convenient, but they are also being maintained.
remote-ftp downloads the files to your local machine and then upon saving uploads them on the remote machine. This will allow you to use all the functionality of atom (like token definition searches) as if you were working on the code locally (because you are).
ftp-remote-edit allows you to edit the remote files without having to download the files. This is convenient if you prefer to not build up a bunch of files on your local machine, or if you are concerned about the data costs of transferring whole repositories (packages) back and forth. I haven't used this package much, but it seems to be maintained as well, so I'm adding it to the list.
No shade for the original creator, just want to help other people avoid the productivity sink this caused me.

I highly recommend using a different remote edit tool like: remote-ftp or ftp-remote-edit
