Please add SFTP support to EverWeb



User: María Fuencisla G. 8 years ago
I am migrating a rather large set of pages from iWeb. My host server requires SFTP, and updating changes from EverWeb is not possible. This means an enormous amount of work for me whenever I make even the smallest change. Please add SFTP support to EverWeb. Otherwise this product is every bit as good as iWeb if not better :)

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,

María

I have precisely the same praise and concern--it is almost inconceivable that having so effortlessly constructed a site in EverWeb, I must essentially return to the Stone Age for several hours in order to upload or change things. Is there a reason why sftp is not an option for publishing through EverWeb?

EverWeb supports FTP over SSL but not over SSH. It is a very difficult feature but one this on our to do list.

I have been using SFTP on my server for a year now through 3rd party software because you do not offer SFTP. I posted and requested this a year ago. I just renewed my Lic# for another year. There is no reason for not writing SFTP into your software. None at all!. If I do not see SFTP this year I will no longer use your software and move on to another company. Many people who use your software have been asking for months for this to be corrected. How long do you think it will take before they too move on to other software. I am try to be nice here but the longer you put this off then you will be left behind without customers. It's up to you now. We love the software but if host servers wont let us publish???. Your call ! Have a great day. Jose

Same here: I am managing 5 sites and our provider (as many others) is moving towards SFTP only.
It is strange that on one side the Everweb software is intuitive drag-and-drop, no html-coding etc.... (so extremely user-friendly) while on the upload-side it is going back to "Norton Commander" days.
The comment that SFTP is a very difficult feature is well understood; but writing software that allows one to built an entire website with only drag-and-drop wasn't easy either, I guess? And, within some time, the FTP upload function might become useless to the majority of the Everweb users as more providers are moving towards SFTP.
If the FileZilla and Cyberduck guys can do it.... I trust that you will be more than able to get this one done as well!! Please move it to the top of your list; I am more than willing to accept some bugs not to be fixed in order to get this functionality. Erik.

Hi Guys,

Just to let you know, FTP over SSH is included in EverWeb 2.6, which is currently in beta testing but we hope to have released very soon.
