How to show root folders in file tree in cloud9 local ssh install

Question

I've installed cloud9 locally on my remote sever following instructions from Cloud9's "sdkcore" repository on github.

I was able to activate it correctly.

However, once started, the files tree only shows Cloud9 folders, but if you want to edit a file contained in a /var/www/examplefolder directory, I cannot.

I could only modify through the ssh terminal, but I would like to be able to edit the files using the most convenient sublime editor.

How can i fix it?

Thanks.

Answer 1

update:

I resolved creating a link with the command :

sudo ln -s /path/from/folder/you/need  /path/to/c9/workspace

in that way you will see your files in c9 workspace folder in the file tree bar;

or

sudo ln -s /path/from/folder/you/need  /home/yourusername/

in that way you will see your files in favourites folder in the file tree bar.
