New SFTP plugin available now

[Horst.Epp]

Is it possible to support more keyfile formats?
I used puttygen to generate keys and now have .pub and .ppk files (not .pem).

Also, is it possible to support unix key format (the one you get after running ssh-******)?

The readme.txt of the plugin tells you how to get a pem file.
Its just an export of your key in Puttygen.

It seems that x64 version does not work properly with pageant. When I switch to 32bit version I can connect over sftp to my servers and auth with pageant. With 64bit version it does not work and show only this error: dl.keepmind.eu/YWpyj.png

It's known problem if you use dlls provided by author (openssl+ssh64.zip). Solution is to use the ones from cURL. Unfortunately they can't be currently downloaded from official site, but you can find working link on previous page of this thread.

Thanks for the info - I have put the dlls from your link on our plugins page too now. Direct URL:
https://plugins.ghisler.com/addons/openssl+ssh64.zip

This needs version 1.3 of the plugin, which now also looks in the subdir "64" under the TC directory, not "x64". Why? TC8 uses the "64" subdir for the ssl dlls, so they can share the same dlls.

Nice update. Thank you.

Is it correct that now we can:

1. put only sftpplug.wfx and sftpplug.wfx64 to plugin dir,
2. put x64 version of
   • libeay32.dll
   • libssh2.dll
   • ssleay32.dll
   to %COMMANDER_PATH%\64,
3. put x86 version of
   • libeay32.dll
   • libssh2.dll
   • libssl32.dll
   to %COMMANDER_PATH%.

Upd. Have tested myself. It is correct! Thank you again!

[ghisler(Author)]

Yes, that's all correct.

I installed the SFTP 1.3 plugin

I am a bit confused as to how to actually use it or if it is properly installed.

From the readme file:

You can now use the plugin in the Network Neighborhood.

There is no menu called "Network Neighborhood".

There is a "Net" menu, but I did not see any SFTP choices under it. Only FTP.

In the dialogs to create new FTP connections I saw no options for FTP. I went ahead and used those menus thinking that the SFTP support would be implicit, but I can not connect. I used port 22

I can connect via the cygwin SFTP client and another SFTP client, so I am thinking I did not install the plugin correctly or I am missing something with how to use it.

this may also be an issue.

Thanks in advance for any help

@tinker123: "Network Neighborhood" = check the drive list and select the one named "\".

Thanks! Now that I found it, it works.

Is it possible with this plugin to:

- set the remote directory it logs into?
- set the home directory?
- set to save my password?

Is it possible with this plugin to:
- set the remote directory it logs into?

Yes. Field Connect with (Server/Path or Server:Port/Path)

- set the home directory?

No. The home directory of any Unix / Linux user is configured by the Unix / Linux system administrator (root) when he creates the account.

- set to save my password?

Yes. Field Password.

Go to \\\Secure FTP. Press <F7> in order to create a new secure ftp connection definition or select an existing connection definition and press <Alt><Enter>. Check out the configuration dialogue and you will see which settings you can configure.

a novice question: my F7 is associated with New Folder,
How can I change the sftp shortcut?

Can I save the connection? so that I don't input server, user name and password every time?

[karlchen]

Hello, tiao.

You managed to confuse me for a minute or so.
You are right. <F7> is the T.C. function key to create a new folder.
Yet, if you have entered the plugin \\\Secure FTP, press <F7>, confirm. Next you will see the properties dialogue where you can enter the details of a new sftp connection.
I.e. inside the sftp plugin <F7> will not create a new folder, but a new connection definition.
Once you are done, click <OK>. This will save the settings. And you will see the freshly created entry inside \\\Secure FTP.

Kind regards,
Karl

Thanks karlchen for the helpful and prompt reply.
Yes, it works great. I was thinking of key conflict.

This needs version 1.3 of the plugin.
