Upload file to SFTP server

sono's icon

Hi Forum,

I am trying to upload a file using jit.uldl. A while ago i managed this just fine with an FTP server, however, the current one (host of my personal website) is an SFTP server, and jit.uldl does not seem to support that.

What would be the most straightforward way to manage this?

Thanks,

Sono

maybe using the [shell] external and a sftp command line client. If you are on Mac, you should already have the sftp command available.

I haven't tried it yet, but there is node.js package you could use: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ssh2-sftp-client#orgd5c393f
It would allow you to stay in Vanilla Max

Actually there are several node packages

Thanks for your input.

sftp is working in Terminal, but I can't make it work with shell.

Actually, the only commands I get to work is 'pwd' and 'ls', e.g. 'cd Desktop' does not change the directory, neither with the full path.

Am I missing a specific way of formatting commands with >1 items? I looked around online but can't figure out what I would do wrong.

I'm running into the same questions and issues as @Sono ... any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi - just bumping this old thead. I was wondering if anyone had luck with using SFTP via Node for Max?
