SFTP4TC based on PuTTY

[bebbo]

SFTP4TC is back! Get it at its home page at h t t p : / / sftp4tc.berlios.de/

The new version uses PuTTY 0.60 and is waiting to be tested (and used) extensively.

Enjoy

Hello WhACKO!
A little bit hidden. Thanks for the link!

What's the format of parameter "keyfilename" in file wcx_sftp.ini? In other words: how can I point to my keyfile and where do I have to put it?

Hm, no idea. I use PuTTy to maintain my connections together with PAgent to provide the private keys. So you load your keys one times and use them many times.
This combination works well and is my recommendation.

What you are trying might be bugged - try to report your bugs in the plugins bug tracker.

Great news, but seems like links are dead right now

Download does not work from berlios.
Is there alternate location?

Try the alternative SFTP Plugin from Christian.

You can download wfx_sftp_1_2_60_1_base_bin.zip from my home page.

His plugin is also great, but it doesn't support one simple and crucial feature - copying files from one server to another.

Excellent, this works with all servers at my work now. Thanks!

It's not the fault of his SFTP plugin.
It's the fault of Total Commander and its broken handling inside!

SFTP4TC contains a workaround if source and destination are handled by SFTP4TC.

But if you mix 2 different plugins (e.g. FTP -> SFTP) it will also fail.

Suggestion:

There are methods which handles two paths, like
- FsGetFile
- FsPutFile
- FsRenMovFile

For those methods Total Commander MUST detect that
- one is a local path,
- or both paths belong to the same plugin

If not, Total Commander MUST provide temp files and invoke the two different plugins correctly.

You could easily add a detection by calling one plugin and evaluating a return code like FS_FILESYSTEM_UNREACHABLE, to start the handling with local temp files.

Total Commander SHOULD NOT start the handling with local temp files if both paths belong to the same plugin.

SFTP4TC is back!

I installed but couldn't connect. Do you have any help for the <edit connection> dialog or is there some other way to connect?

Thanks.

[bebbo]

First: you may use the SFTP4TC boards to ask questions http://developer.berlios.de/support/?group_id=2273

You have to use the <edit connection> dialog to create a connection:
0. if you use a version before 1.3.60.3: load the <default settings>
1. enter host address
2. select SSH
3. enter a session name
4. save the session
5. open

If you need more details, create a working PuTTY connection, look at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/docs.html for more information. Once your PuTTY session works, you can use it in SFTP4TC too.

Oops! Got "No Support Requests Match Your Criteria".

I got SFTP4TC to work and autologin as "root". How do I get it to automatically supply the password? Thanks -- Mark.
