See the title again,

I would also love to see the feature for uploading or downloading single files or change the chmod in brackets.

When Brackets has that feature, I'm going to switch to brackets. Come on @timburgess make me switch my workstation. :)

Looking at/editing on the remote server directly is something I would like to have. However I specifically want to keep the FTP-Sync dialog box as lean as possible and thus it's functionality simple to understand. I will revisit this once SFTP support is complete and the FTP-Sync 1.0.5 free release is done.

maybe a separate plugin? :) and yes, it's an awesome idea!

I'm curious as to why you guys have a need for making changes directly on a remote server. Personally I have only worked this way once - when the client explicitly asked me to work in vi on a Linux box. And I would have much preferred the more typical setup i.e. a local development environment and then pushing up changes.

I would love to see remote developing as well. Most of the time I work with two people on websites and we are all in different locations. We all have different tasks and qualities but need each others code to create the whole site. That is a lot harder when developing locally.

@timburgess well I don't really change my files on the server, but sometimes I have to remove or rename files from the server, maybe even moving them or changing chmod's.

I don't want to use an extra FTP-Client besides Brackets so Viewing Serverfiles and Moving/Removing/Renaming and Editing them would be a killer feature making me switch from sublime to brackets forever.

The only reason why I didn't switched to Brackets yet is the lack of ftpsupport. Your plugin made it more easy but I want to use brackets in my office and here I need to edit fast. :)

Thank you for your feedback.

@Duncank actually, it shouldn't be a problem to create a "Sync Plugin" right? If you take a look on Codio.com or koding.com, you can see excellent sync-editors using the same engine like brackets.

Maybe there is a way to get Synced Working in there too. :9
