Still can not edit file over SSH/FTPS?
I saw the developer reply for this Feature for over 10 years and now still no this feature?
You can do this using the Secure ShellFish app:
- add the SSH/SFTP server to Secure ShellFish
- enable Secure ShellFish location in the Files app
- add the server as an external folder to Textastic (see https://www.textasticapp.com/v9/manual/integration_other_apps/external_files_folders.html#adding-external-folders)
This allows you to edit files lives on an SFTP server.
CoffeeScript files not open

Korean text typing error
In recent version (maybe 9.6~), Korean character at the first position of line suffers disassemble error. For example, when typing ‘강물’ (in order of ㄱ + ㅏ + ㅇ + ㅁ + ㅜ + ㄹ), Textastic force to represent ‘ㄱㅏㅇ물’. There is no way to assemble it; the only (temporary) solution is add a whitespace or other character before typing, and delete it later.
I could reproduce the problem and found a workaround. This will be fixed in the next update.
Being able to open ejs files with Textastic
I can‘t open ejs files with Textastic through Working Copy.
How can I do this or are you going to add the file support?
Jump to file in folder
Hey, nice app. Just bought it and started using it on my iPad. I think theres should be a way to jump within files in the loaded directory. Sort of the way you can do cmd+p in vscode.
This would be of great help andimprove productivity within the app itself.
How to begin styling with css
Hi I have just finished writing my code on html using Textastic and I just don’t know how to get around opening another tab and setting it to css so that I begin styling my code
I assume that the .html file is stored somewhere in the "Local Files" or in the "iCloud" location.
- In the same folder, tap the "+" button in the bottom toolbar.
- Enter a file name with a ".css" file extension -> this opens a new CSS file in a new tab.
- In the .html file, add a link tag to the head section as described at https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_link.asp
- If you now open the web preview using the glasses icon while the tab with the .html file is open, you should see the CSS styles from the .css file applied. You can also open the web preview on the .css file and enter the path to the .html file in the address bar of the web preview. This allows you to preview the website while previewing the .css file without having to switch to the .html file first.
Alternatively, you can add the CSS directly to the .html file using a style tag in the header section as described at https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_style.asp.
Shellfish drag and drop any file
Hi! It would be nice to drag and drop any file type from shellfish. As .tsx, .properties and any type. Thanks!
Hostname and iPad
I have a simple but irritating problem when setting up the terminal connection from an iPad. Would the hostname be http://(plus my IP address)? I ask because no combination of the settings appears to work.
No matter how simple I make the password/username, they’re unrecognized and when I try the public key, I don’t have authorization.
So... since I want the terminal to work without any ID or password, I am assuming that I’ve wrongly configured the iPad’s hostname. You have the example of textastic.com, I think... but what’s the structure of an end-user such as myself?
I presumed it was the IP address, expressed as a URL— and that brings me back to the start of my message :-)
Thanks
Running python code in SSH
Hello,
Maybe I am being dense, but I cannot see how I could execute/run python code I've written in my SSH terminal window.
Example: I'm editing a file called "main.py" in Textastic with "print("Hello World!"). I want to be able to open the SSH terminal (into my local server) and be able to type "python main.py" to see "Hello World!" printed inside the SSH terminal window.
How do I achieve this without having to manually copy and paste code?
Hello,
I would do it like this:
- create the python file(s) in Textastic in a folder within "Local Files" or "iCloud"
- use the file transfer screen to upload the files to your server using an SFTP connection
- use the SSH terminal to run the python file on your server using the same connection
- when you now make changes to the python files on your iPad, you can use the "Quick Upload" feature of Textastic to upload your file with two taps or a keyboard shortcut (Cmd-Option-Up)
Please have a look at these topics in the manual for details:

Adding Rmd syntax highlighting
Hello! First of all let me say: This is a great app! I’ve been using it for a week now and I love it!
I was trying to add syntax highlighting for .rmd files but the highlighting isn’t working. I followed the steps in the blogpost I saw linked in other topics, and used this .tmbundle I found on GitHub. But the syntax isn’t rendering, either I did something wrong, or the bundle isn’t working, I’d appreciate a little help fixing it.
Here’s a print showing a .rmd file and correctly detected highlight:
Thanks in advance =)
