Komodo Edit for Mac and Windows

Komodo Edit is another free, full-featured text editor for both Macintosh and Windows that will let you edit files over ssh. Download the appropriate install image here.

Once installed, select "Preferences", then "Servers" and SFTP for Server type; then enter your hostname and username and save this profile as "Lonestar". Don't enter anything for port or default path. When you want to open a file at Lonestar, select File -> Open -> Remote file and the top drop-down menu will have "Lonestar". Select that, and it should show you all the files in your lonestar home directory.

MacFuse/MacFusion/TextWrangler for Mac

Want your Lonestar files to appear like any other place on your hard drive? You can do this using MacFuse/MacFusion on a Mac. Want to edit files on TACC without having to use nano? You might want to use TextWrangler, a text editor that can edit files over ssh.

Connecting to TACC Like a Hard Drive: MacFuse/MacFusion

Here are the steps for an installation:

  1. Download and install FUSE for OS X.
    • Check the option to install the "compatibility layer"
  2. Download MacFusion.
    • Move the app that gets downloaded to your Applications folder
  3. Restart your computer.
  4. Open the MacFusion application.
  5. Click the + menu in the window and select SSHFS. Enter your login information for lonestar. Choose connect. The remote file system will appear in Finder (depending on your settings it may be on the desktop or inside the computer shortcut in the side of a Finder window). You can also click on the mounted volume within MacFusion and choose "Reveal" from the gear menu.

In order to make navigating to the different file systems on lonestar easier ($SCRATCH and $WORK), you can set up some shortcuts with these commands that create folders that "link" to those locations. (Run the commands when logged into Lonestar with a terminal, from your home directory).
