Wordpress and SFTP
Hi again, I try to update a newly installed WP appliance, a form to be filled in shows up. I fill it in and mark sftp, but the connection is refused.
I have tried different as host: localhost, localhost:22, 192.168.0.195, 192.168.0.195:22.
User root and password.
Nothing works :S
I'm not clear
I undertand you are trying to ugrade Wordpress but as I am unfamilar with the process so perhaps you could give a little more detail of the steps you are taking. It would also potentially be useful to know the client software you are using to conect via SFTP (etc) and upload a screenshot of the "form" you are speaking of.
Personally I usually do all my work on TKL appliances remotely using a combination of Web browser, Filezilla (cross platform SFTP client) and Terminal/PuTTY (SHH in Linux terminal works well, PuTTY under Windows).
I know the tools you use, but
I know the tools you use, but I want the management of the site to be as simple as possible because I am only the developer and others thats is unfamiliar with web, ftp, ssh... should be able to manage the site.
In this case it is an update/upgrade within worpress, this form do not always come up on every wp installation.
I did create a new install
I did create a new install and this form do not show up, but glad if you have some sort of an idea? :)
SFTP & FTPS are not the same
They are similar but different:
SFTP = SSH FTP
FTPS = FTP over SSL
Glad you got it sorted, not sure how you'll go if you reencounter this issue.
