Safe mode hack with SFTP

Hello,

I'm trying to use the safe mode hack on a SFTP server, however, I'm unable to get it to work.
I have checked the credentials (they look correct) and tried it with and without checking "Connect via FTP-SSL", but no luck.

Can anybody help?

Please note: SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) != FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS)

Thanks. I definitely need SFTP and not FTPS.

There seems to an extended version of the Safe Mode Hack (an extension of Contao), and I did install it, but I can't get that to work either:

Here is a (German) forum post about this topic: http://www.contao-community.de/showthre ... s-probleme

I used the extended SMH extension from Contao, with the following code in my localconfig.php:

Code:

---

$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['useSmhExtended'] = true; // dies aktiviert den erweiterten SMH.
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['useSMHClass'] = 'SMHSFTP'; // Bitte lassen Sie diese Option unveraendert, bislang gibt es nur das SFTP Protokoll.
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['ftpHost'] = 'ftp.domain.nl';
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['ftpPath'] = '/domains/my_domain/DEFAULT/';
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['ftpUser'] = 'login_name';
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['ftpPass'] = 'password******';
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['ftpPort'] = 22;

When I run the install tool, I get the following error:

I'm sort of at a loss here. Does anybody have any ideas? I use the same credentials to login to the SFTP in the localconfig.php as I do with FileZilla, so that should work.

Hi Cothedo,

One thing I noticed -- smhextended only "officially" works with 2.8. Could it maybe be a compatibility issue?

Yes, it could be a compatibility issue, however, I have no idea how to fix that. I'm not an experienced programmer.

It's solved now: I managed it by switching to regular FTP instead SFTP.
