secure FTP to on-rev server best practice

[Martin Koob]

I have been trying to use SFTP to connect to the on-rev.com server when I am
uploading and managing files for a site hosted on on-rev. I have not been
able to connect via SFTP. I have tried with Interarchy and Cyberduck. I
get a connection refused message.

With Cyberduck I can connect with FTP-SSL (Explicit AUTH TLS)
-this shows a lock icon in the GUI
With Interarchy I can set FTP uses SSL (AUTH TLS) : required in the security
preferences
-there is no visible indication in the GUI that there is a secure connection

Is FTP using SSL equivalent to using SFTP?
Is there something I need to set in cPanel to make a SFTP connection, ie.
set up or configure and account for SFTP connections.

Martin,

you can't use SFTP or FTP-SSL with on-rev.

Hi Andre

With Cyberduck when I first tried to connect using FTP-SSL it would
not connect because the certificate from odin.on-rev.com was not
trusted. When I clicked 'Always trust "odin.on-rev.com' then the
connection opened. When I look in the keychain I find the certificate
for odin.on-rev.com and has SSL - always trust as the settings for the
certificate and it is trusted for ftp for my on-rev site

So it appears that at least FTP-SSL is working with on-rev using Cyberduck
or am I missing something.

Martin,

Are you, from CyberDuck, able to see the files listing AND to upload/download files ?

Best,

Pierre

Hi Pierre

I did some tests

I was able to list files, upload and download a file and also delete a file.

the URL that Cyberduck is using starts with ftps://

I purchased an ssl certificate and static IP for a site that I have hosted on
on-rev from RunRev. is this the reason why it works?

I do use, me too, the Duck :-)

Et ça marche très bien :-)

On drague directement le fichier depuis une fenêtre Finder vers le
listing affiché dans Cyberduck

Pour un seul fichier à la fois, quand j'ai fait une modif sous
TextWrangler, j'utilise le client FTP intégré

===

That works very well
Directly from a Finder window to the Cyberduck listing

For a unique file, I prefer to use TextWrangler and its FTP client

===

* pratique quand l'appli On-Rev est "paresseuse"
mais pas d'échappatoire quand Loki se croise les bras et refuse de vous
reconnaitre (cPanel)...

===

Useful when the desktop app On-Rev is "lazy"
but no escape when Loki (cPanel) refuses your password...

I tried also the webdisk but is has its limitations (and is very slow)

Thanks for the precision. I need to have a new try.

A+,
