Schonhose -

Does this addon support SFTP as well? The webhost where my photoblog is does not allow regular FTP, only SFTP.

Thanks in advance!

what is the difference between SFTP and FTP?

[dhdesign]

SFTP stands for SSH File Transfer Protocol. You can read more about it at Wikipedia.

Basically, SFTP encrypts both commands and data, preventing passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted in the clear over the network.

FTP sends everything, including passwords, without any encryption at all.

I did a quick search and could not come up with a general way to incorporate SFTP in the addon.

That's okay. I just tried an experiment on this install - set the permissions on images and thumbnails to 775, and I was able to upload an image with no problems. Looks like I won't need the addon to support SFTP after all.

Thanks!

Dennis - you can use cURL lib to support SFTP in your addon.
