Edit file on remote server with Sublime.

1. On the server side (in my case, Ubuntu) install rsub:

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

2. On the local side (again in my case macOS High Sierra 10.13.3) 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. Install it

3. Open command line and connect to remote server:

    ssh -R 52698:localhost:52698 server_user@server_address -p portnumber
   

4. After connecting to the remote server, run this command:

    rsub path_to_file/file.txt
   

Then file opening automatically in Sublime 3. Side Note: sublime must be already open before you go trough this.
