Savannah Administration - News: Secure FTP access to download area
Secure FTP access to download area
Item posted by Loïc Dachary <loic> on Fri 12 Jul 2002 05:08:59 PM UTC.
Secure FTP access to download area Many people complained that rsync over ssh were too difficult to deal
with and that scp alone did not have enough functionalities to
properly manage the upload area of Savannah projects. Savannah now
offers the sftp service which is an equivalent of ftp running over an
ssh connection. It should be included in popular ssh distributions. If
it is not the case, we suggest you consider an upgrade.
A typical usage for project MYPROJECT would be:
sftp MYUSERNAME@freesoftware.fsf.org:/MYPROJECT/
Connecting to freesoftware.fsf.org...
Changing to: /uri/
From this point you can PUT files in the upload area and immediately
see them at http://savannah.gnu.org/download/MYPROJECT/. You can also
delete existing files (RM), create directories (MKDIR) or change the
file permissions (CHMOD).
It is our hope that sftp will make your life easier.
Happy hacking, the Savannah Hackers

Apparently the sftp-server component is in the wrong place on freesoftware.fsf.org. You need to add the -s flag to force the path that it expects:

That only applies to people trying to access the CVS repository using an old copy of cvs that does not already default to ssh. We're trying to sftp here :)

Sorry, when I tried the new SFTP access for upgrading the download area of my project, epsilon I was asked for a password.

I had the same problem. I'm using debian and installed sftp. scp was working fine, cvs still works but sftp doesn't. I used
