sftp compatibility?

[JayWood]

Just a question really. The readme doesn't make any mention of sftp; can someone confirm rather or not sftp works with this?

Hello, sftp is not currently supported. Maybe ssh would be a valid option if you're deploying to a host accepting ssh connection, otherwise support for sftp should be fairly easy to implement thanks to pysftp.

Problem I've faced is large hosting companies like WPEngine, don't support SSH, but require SFTP. I've resorted to handling all of our syncing requirements in bash so far, so I'll continue watching this for future developments.

Right now we're using a Jenkins setup, and require incremental deploys, and go figure, there's no one solution to that, but your application seems to fit the bill so far, just need sftp.

Got it :) I'll probably be unable to implement this in the next coming weeks but I'll remember to ping you when/if I do it!

Looks like ftplib supports FTP/TLS now. https://docs.python.org/3/library/ftplib.html
Can you implement this? Seems brain dead simple now.

The doc you linked seems to be about FTP/TLS aka FTPs, which is a different protocol than sFTP. Am I missing something?

[lprimak]

Oh yes, I am talking about FTPes, not SFTP :) Should I open a new issue?

[r3c]

No it's fine 🙂

I just pushed some code to support FTP+TLS on develop branch, would you mind having a try with your FTP server and tell me if it's OK for you? (I just did on my side but I only have access to one FTP server with TLS support enabled).

[lprimak]

That works great, thank you!

Glad to hear that, you're very welcome 🙂
