SFTP Support

Support this one.

is there a way of bumping up priority ?

Logged In: NO

Ditto. At the University level, SFTP is required and the only reason my students aren't using nVu or KompoZar

Agreed! I teach using Kompozer, but the site part is useless since our server only allows sftp.

Logged In: NO

I totally agree - I would like to see the priority moved WAY up.
Thanks

The same situation at the university of Tübingen: uploading to the web server only with SFTP/SCP. The physics dpt. at Uni Augsburg has blocked non-encrypted FTP, POP and IMAP. So this is a common issue.

Another vote for moving this way, way up the priority list. As far as I'm concerned it's the #1 shortfall in nVu and the main reason why I have mixed feelings recommending the program to anyone. It's not just universities as some have mentioned -- many web hosts are also blocking unencrypted FTP connections, and the ones that don't seem to have constant problems with FTP accounts being compromised. Using unencrypted FTP really isn't feasible any more.

I also strongly support the addition of SFTP, it is at the top of my wish-list.

As they say on many IRC channels "+1" -- i.e. I also vote "Yea". In the past I've done all the maintenence on our web servers, and am quite comfortable with the command line, so "scp ..." holds no fear. But as others begin to create web pages here with GUI tools, I'm loathe to install an FTP server just to keep them happy, when SFTP and SCP are available already.

(This has also been raised again in 1846091.)

Has my vote for moving to the top of the list...

Add my vote for this feature -- I work at a university too, have no ftp access - only scp/sftp, and so I cannot integrate kompozer with the web stuff, I have to move all files manually which is a huge pain.

Obviously people REALLY want this feature. Add me to the list.
To help with bug triage (and add to the point) the following bugs are duplicates of this one:
1846091
1940023
1897196
1565326
1888949

There are likely others as well.

I understand SCP / SFTP is one of the most requested features. Unfortunately, there’s no built-in SSH support in the Mozilla code base, and it’d be a lot of work to implement a reliable SSH support.

Being the only developer workin on KompoZer at the moment, I’m afraid I have other priorities to address right now. I’m pushing the priority on this item to raise its visibility, in case somebody is willing to work on this.

Thanks for the update on development status. If and when this feature does finally become available it will make Kompozer a complete package for me. Currently I rely on Cyberduck to upload my Kompozer edited web files via SFTP.

A student has started working on this item.
We might get some SFTP support for the 0.8 branch, maybe in the next 3 months.

I am all for any "standard" file exchange that encrypts the data and thus, when I heard that SFTP is an encrypted FTP (and possible the only one available without proprietary entanglements as no others were mentioned) I was immediately for it

I have of course heard of SSH, and just a couple hours ago heard of SFTP for the first time... however I am a blank at how either is implemented.... in the context that SSH is for SHTML I wonder if the S in SHTML stands for SSH and if so does it also in SFTP???? if yes, read on...

if SFTP is the SSH protocol for FTP , I have a great shortcut... my web host suggests, among the known implementers of SFTP,, Filezilla as a free FTP up-loader that uses SFTP protocol ... Filezilla IS open source is it not? this will (or rather SHOULD) also allow easy implementation of SHTML transfer should a webserver NOT have secure FTP but does have more widely used SHTML

again, pardon this humble programmer of any errors that are due to ignorance of the implementations/definitions of SSH, SFTP, and SHTML [as well as my overt dismissal of Murphy's Law(s) as to the ease of the suggested inclusions]

I can understand the delay due to a student accepting the project but while I am sure that said student hopes to be the next "Bill Gates" I hope he shall pardon me as I will pray that he is the next "Tim Paterson" ... well, maybe so but with a little more confidence in his creativity and the application !!!! (to those who are clueless, "Look it up Folks!" $50,000 vs ... )
