Sftp Netdrive Download

Just try Moodisk. It's a Windows shell namespace extension that can map the sftp-server directory to an icon on your own computer desktop. Moreover, it's integrated into the mouse's right click "Send To" submenu.
I'm trying to connect to my server with sftp. The server is working just fine. I connected to it from FileZilla. Then I was able to connect to it using Dolphin by just typing in the address: s :password@domain/. This worked and I was even able to transfer files.
However, I would like to create a directory to save this for future use, so that I don't have to type that in every time. It seems that "Add Network Directory" uses ftp instead of sftp, making it so that I cannot connect to the server. I can find no way to make it use sftp, is there a way to do this?
By the way, you probably shouldn't use fish:// protocol, it is fallback protocol for ssh servers which don't support sftp and it's not fast. Default sshd servers confugured with sftp enabled by default.
Tried to setup sync over SFTP with private/public keys, but no success so far. Now I solved it using SFTP Netdrive (www.eldos.com/sftp-net-drive) as a workaround, until private/public key SFTP is supported in IOProtocolExt. This mounts the SFTP server on a drive letter, then you can just use the build in 'sync with file' option in Keepass, no plugins needed.
Unfortunately the IOProtocolExt is supporting only Windows is there another approach to connect with sftp?
Just to mention : The plugin SftpSync is making some errors in communication under Ubuntu
I use webdav to access my nextcloudpi server running on a raspberry pi 2b, so i can not really judge performance wise, but it behaves similar to samba, with the difference that the files get synced to nextcloud database when samba needs external files scan to do this. So my suggestion would be definitely to use webdav preferedly over samba, i dont know how sftp would be, but i guess it has the same shortcomings as it would be a seperate server.
Paths are specified as remote:path. If the path does not begin witha / it is relative to the home directory of the user. An empty pathremote: refers to the user's home directory. For example, rclone lsd remote:would list the home directory of the user configured in the rclone remote config(i.e /home/sftpuser). However, rclone lsd remote:/ would list the rootdirectory for remote machine (i.e. /)
When the server is rclone serve sftp,the rclone SFTP remote will detect this as a Unix type shell - evenif it is running on Windows. This server does not actually have a shell,but it accepts input commands matching the specific ones that theSFTP backend relies on for Unix shells, e.g. md5sum and df. Alsoit handles the string escape rules used for Unix shell. Treating itas a Unix type shell from a SFTP remote will therefore always becorrect, and support all features.
The shell type auto-detection logic, described above, means thatby default rclone will try to run a shell command the first timea new sftp remote is accessed. If you configure a sftp remotewithout a config file, e.g. an on the flyremote, rclone will have nowhere to store the result, and itwill re-run the command on every access. To avoid this you shouldexplicitly set the shell_type option to the correct value,or to none if you want to prevent rclone from executing anyremote shell commands.
Some SFTP servers disable setting/modifying the file modification time afterupload (for example, certain configurations of ProFTPd with mod_sftp). If youare using one of these servers, you can set the option set_modtime = false inyour RClone backend configuration to disable this behaviour.
Make sure to test thoroughly before using a value higher than 32k,and only use it if you always connect to the same server or aftersufficiently broad testing. If you get errors such as"failed to send packet payload: EOF", lots of "connection lost",or "corrupted on transfer", when copying a larger file, try loweringthe value. The server run by rclone serve sftpsends packets with standard 32k maximum payload so you must notset a different chunk_size when downloading files, but it acceptspackets up to the 256k total size, so for uploads the chunk_sizecan be set as for the OpenSSH example above.
However the SFTP protocol does support hardlinking, and if you enablethis flag then the sftp backend will support server side copies. Thesewill be implemented by doing a hardlink from the source to thedestination.
