[SOLVED] Which SFTP plug-in? How to get back to C:\ ?

[yetanotherlogin]

Hello,

As I was told that using Samba to edit the Nginx htdocs files was a security risk, even with a NAT firewall restricting access to TCP80… I'd like to use TC and an SFTP plug-in to access an OpenSSH server remotely.

I have a couple of questions:

1. There seems to be at least two SFTP plug-ins: I installed SFTP 2.0.0 2017/11/17 by "Myself" from here. Is this the best plug-in, or should I use the one by "Stefan "Bebbo" Franke" (here) ?

2. After disconnecting, I can't get back to C:\ by typing… C: . Is there a faster way than ALT+F12 > Computer?

Thank you.

I don't use SFTP plugin, but it seems your question has been discussed here:

Possible solutions:
1) make a toolbar button with cd c: command;
2) in command line, cm_GotoDriveC command should work (you can also define a custom hotkey or shorter alias for it);
3) you can ask plugin author to add support for cd <local path> commands, so plugin will read the command and tell TC to switch to a local path, although for this one I'm not sure whether it's possible, especially second part.

Thanks.

So neither plug-in is as good as connecting through Samba.

Too bad.

Edit: Good enough work-around without customizing TC:

1. Disconnect from remote SFTP server
2. ALT+F12
3. Enter
4. "Desktop"

Isn't it easier to just use the drive list (Alt+F1 or Alt+F2) or drive bar and selecting your local drive there?
