FTPS/SFTP support #5316

Open LiroyvH opened 5 years ago

LiroyvH commented 5 years ago

SMF currently does not appear to support FTP over SSL (FTPS) nor SFTP ("FTP over SSH"). More and more providers are rejecting plain-text authentication. They may even demand the data channel to be encrypted as well and thus reject any non-encrypted connection. And some others, though this is more rare, don't support FTP nor FTPS but only SFTP.

With SMF only supporting plain-text FTP, tools such as the Package Manager and installer may not be able to perform certain tasks such as changing permissions (chmod). It would be nice if we can at least get FTPS support. Having SFTP support as well would be nice. Hence this feature request. :)

You make a good case for doing this by the time we finish the final version of 2.1.

Is ftps not already supported? https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/blob/103d7e70841d31dc53047e02450ca124bb9c884d/Sources/Class-Package.php#L790-L791

Maybe a text should point to SSL / SFTP

Very few platforms support SFTP.

This is not a requirement for RC4. @MissAllSunday the RC4 label should be removed.

As with many other issues, this one was originally tagged for Final back when there wasn't an RC4 label created yet.

I could argue that since there is little support for http these days and https is the norm rather than the exeption we need to either add support for SFTP or drop the functionality but yes, it is out of scope for any RC or Final milestones. Good material for a 2.x release.
