New SFTP plugin available now

[white]

• • _Quick Connection = You will use this option to create your connection and save your credentials, otherwise you'll have to type them every time you want to connect.
• Press F7 with the _Quick Connection option selected.

You don't have to select the _Quick Connection entry when pressing F7. They are separate functions. Use F7 to create a connection (save credentials for a certain sftp server). Use '_Quick Connection' to connect to a SFTP server without making a connection first.

The only thing that keeps me using WinSCP is the lack of beeing able to switch easily beween open sftp connections. When I open a FTP connection for example, I get an additional icon for this connection in the drive-button-bar. This is not the case when using the SFTP plugin. The only workaround for this seems to be, to add every sftp connection to the directory quick menu. But this is still not very handy.

There is a typo in the readme.txt: deallocaion -> deallocation

Hi. I'm using libraries from version 7.34.0 of curl and it almost works...

Here's what i did:
1. Downloaded 32-bit and 64-bit version.
2. From bin folder of curl-7.34.0-devel-mingw32 I copied all dll files to %COMMANDER_PATH% (replacing existing ones).
3. From bin folder of curl-7.34.0-devel-mingw64 I copied all dll files to %COMMANDER_PATH%\64
4. Installed Secure FTP automatically (by opening zip in Total Commander).
5. Opened \\\Secure FTP\ and added a connection.

So far it works - I can view folders, download and upload files.

The problem is I cannot create files (SHIFT+F4). So I'm wondering is this a problem with dll versions or is this feature currently not available?

Sorry, this function isn't currently supported in any plugin.

I use sftpplug.wfx64 1.4.1, libeay32.dll 1.0.0j, libssh2.dll 1.4.2.
I connect fine to a host by name.
But from home (when connected through VPN), I try to connect by IP and I get the exception below.
cygwin ssh to the same IP works fine.

I use TC 64bit.
I restarted TC several times with the same result.
Then I restarted as Administrator and it connected fine.
And now it works fine even if started as normal user. Go figure?!

I have found a bug, to reproduce use this:

1.) upload a file to server,
2.) then download it back (confirm owerwrite dialog)
3.) uploading the same file on the server does not work: "Error uploading file test.txt" and file can not be deleted from local side: "Error: file cannot be deleted! Please remove the write protection!" I tried to change attributes of local file, but i cant still it delete.

Im using TCMD 7.50a 32bit, Windows 7 64bit, latest SFTP plugin version 1.4.1. Checked "Use SCP for data transfers (faser!)".

When using this plugin to connect directly via SSH (port 22) everthing is ok. But using custom port 2222 and proftpd (with mod_sftp) on server side makes that problem.

Also I have to check "Use SCP for data transfers (faser!)" because I can not download files from server owned by another user (e.g. access/error logs of root user with correct permissions for FTP user to download it). When I try it download TCMD tries to set some buggy permissions 0000 which server refuses. Some next bug?

WinSCP have not that problems/bugs on the same connections. So I think it is TCMD sftp plugin issue.

When transferring files, the timestamps are set to 1 January 1970.

I'm using the sftp 1.4.63 plugin and the binaries from curl 7.34.0

I've got copyalltimes=1 in wincmd.ini and I would expect all three times to be copied across, but none are. Setting this =0 makes no difference.

How do I preserve timestamps on the files transmitted/received?

[sqa_wizard]

When transferring files, the timestamps are set to 1 January 1970.

Setting the timestamp of a remote file by sftp plugin depends on the capabilities of the sftp server.
Mainly the support of MDTM command is required (while connected, just doubleclick on the small window at the top region of TC to see the log)

[sqa_wizard]

Just to let you know: Günter Knauf has finally released recent libcurl SSL 7.38 version. (32-Bit and 64-bit)

[UltraMax]

I've got problems with downloading big files (more than 3 megabytes) from sftp server. It always fails with this message: Error downloading file

I use the latest files: libeay32.dll & libssh2.dll from MinGW64 7.38.0 archive and SFTP 1.4.1 version for 64 bit environment
I also have zlib1.dll file (1.2.5.0 version, but I do not know if it's the latest file as I cannot find it in sftp archive or OpenSSH DLLs

What can be wrong here? Everytime it fails connection is broken and I need to reconnect again

[ghisler(Author)]

Can you try the "Use SCP" option? This should work better for larger files.

THANKS A LOT! That solves my problem

Can be put into some FAQ in case someone has the same issues

I can't connect. It keeps asking for the password.

Under Secure FTP Connections, it shows the sftp connection I defined.

All the parameters are identical to the Winscp version.


The screen that appears, when clicking edit connections, says SFTP4TC, based on PuTTY Configuration; is that correct?

The only connection type possible (the only radio button) is SSH.


In the C:\TOTALCMD\plugins\wfx\sftpplug folder, are

libcurl.dll
libeay32.dll
libssh2.dll
readme.txt
sftpplug.wfx
sftpplug.wfx64
ssleay32.dll
zlib1.dll


I've also copied the above DLLs, to c:\totalcmd, c:\totalcmd\plugins\wfx, c:\totalcmd\plugins\wfx\sftp4tc, and c:\totalcmd\plugins\wfx\sftpplug, just to make sure all the basis are covered.

But it keeps returning, asking me for a password, that is copied and pasted from the same source as the Winscp login.
