How to open remote files in sublime text 3

remote-serversshsublimetext3

I am connecting to remote server using "mRemoteNG" and want to open remote server files in my local sublime text editor. During my research, I found this relevant blog https://wrgms.com/editing-files-remotely-via-ssh-on-sublimetext-3/ and followed the instructions but it is not working for me.
Does, anybody know how can I open remote files in my Sublime?

On server

Install rsub:

wget -O /usr/local/bin/rsub \https://raw.github.com/aurora/rmate/master/rmate
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/rsub

On local

Install rsub Sublime3 package:

On Sublime Text 3, open Package Manager (Ctrl-Shift-P on Linux/Win, Cmd-Shift-P on Mac, Install Package), and search for rsub and install it

Open command line and connect to remote server:

ssh -R 52698:localhost:52698 server_user@server_address

after connect to server run this command on server:

rsub path_to_file/file.txt

As of today (2018/09/05) you should use : https://github.com/randy3k/RemoteSubl because you can find it in packagecontrol.io while "rsub" is not present.

How to use SSH to run a local shell script on a remote machine

If Machine A is a Windows box, you can use Plink (part of PuTTY) with the -m parameter, and it will execute the local script on the remote server.

plink root@MachineB -m local_script.sh

If Machine A is a Unix-based system, you can use:

ssh root@MachineB 'bash -s' < local_script.sh

You shouldn't have to copy the script to the remote server to run it.

Ssh “permissions are too open” error

Keys need to be only readable by you:

chmod 400 ~/.ssh/id_rsa

If Keys need to be read-writable by you:

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa

600 appears to be fine as well (in fact better in most cases, because you don't need to change file permissions later to edit it).

The relevant portion from the manpage (man ssh)

 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
         Contains the private key for authentication.  These files contain sensitive 
         data and should be readable by the user but not
         accessible by others (read/write/execute).  ssh will simply ignore a private 
         key file if it is              
         accessible by others.  It is possible to specify a
         passphrase when generating the key which will be used to encrypt the sensitive 
         part of this file using 3DES.

 ~/.ssh/identity.pub
 ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
 ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub
 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
         Contains the public key for authentication.  These files are not sensitive and 
         can (but need not) be readable by anyone.
