    I have stayed away from WP for 3 yrs because of the inability to auto update over a SFTP connection.. yes I mean SFTP .. not anything else ?? I have FTP permanently disabled on my server and want to keep it that way. I have a new project I would love to use WP, and was thrilled to see this plugin.. but I cant get it to connect..

    So.. first the WP installed fine, I activated the ssh-sftp plugin and tried to connect to upgrade to v3.7 but it wont..

    I use a non-conventional port also.. so I tried:

    domain.com
    user
    pass

    sftp://[email protected]:1234 (port #)
    user
    pass

    domain.com:1234 (port #)
    user
    pass

    I even tried using the root user/pass

    I just continually get
    Error: There was an error connecting to the server, Please verify the settings are correct.

    I see nothing in my error logs…

    I dont see an SFTP option only:
    FTP FTPS (SSL) SSH2

    and I have no idea if I have a passphrase, if it is needed, or how to make one if I do need it so

    Please help me out here I really really want to be able to use WP now!
    thanks!

    ‘sshd xxx.xxx.xx.xxx ALLOW
    sshd ALL DENY’

    Maybe try adding 127.0.0.1 to that or the IP address of your server.

    WOOHOOOOO I added the server IP as ALLOW and BINGO!!!!! we have ignition!!!!

    I cant tell you how pleased I am now!!!
