First of all, I apologize if this is a duplicate post; I searched the forum multiple times and could not find anything similar after paging through a vast number of posts. I am not a programmer or IT professional, but I used to have no problem connecting wtih earlier versions of HTML Editor - just using my website name and password.
My problem: I cannot get a good test for my server configuration no matter what I try. Using SFTP over SSH on port 22 with no proxy in Direct FTP works great; but I can't figure out how to get such a configuration in HTML Editor, or get a connection with the options that I am given.
:/
I am using the following settings in Direct FTP with good results:
ftp.rahs.net
Proxy = None
SFTP over SSH on port 22
Remote folder /.2/home/brclarke
This is the website name (but Direct FTP does not ask for it) = www.wingnuts-haven.com

This is basically a problem that I posted before ver. 9 came out. Problem still exists; I can ftp into my site with Direct FTP, but not with the HTML Editor, even though you added the ftp over SSH capability. I don't get it; I've tried every combination I can think of.

Have you tried the 2010 version of the HTML Editor yet? This update added the support for sFTP which previous versions did not.

That should be fine then. If you want, e-mail me direct at scott@coffeecup.com with your sFTP info and I can run some tests here.

On its way; hoping it's something simple that I'm overlooking. Really want to be able to cash in on the benefits of the editor. Use to hook up well before the server began using the secure protocol.
