Does not support sftp urls

[Mnkras]

When pasting in a url using the sftp protocol it does nothing.

Thanks for the feature request. The first version of Maxel is http/s only, and sftp is a planned update.

Are you able to run a webserver like apache or lighttpd on your slot?

Hey @Mnkras give this experimental build of Maxel a try http://cl.ly/3Z3w1Y2V3O2Y

It adds SFTP support; you can enter paths like this: sftp://user:password@domain.com:port/path sftp://user@domain.com:port/path sftp://domain.com:port/path

Edit: Updated URL with a build that should work.

Awesome, can I hope for public key auth support also? :P (I can't remember my passwords)

I toyed around it–it's awkward because of Mac OS's sandboxing. You'd need to explicitly grant permission by selecting the public and private keys. I think keychain is a better mechanism for most users.

That said, one thing I'm considering is having Maxel generate its own private key and provide a public key, which circumvents the issue of having to load the keyfiles. On the flip side, you'd have to add a new pub key to all your servers.

Anyways, do open an issue for it, and I'll likely add it in a future version

Damn sandboxing :/ Adding a public key isn't too hard, if there was a way to manually add in your own private key into Maxel that would work also, no?

Yea definitely. There are some kinks to work out, but I'll open an issue for it (#2). Thanks for the feedback, and let me know if there's anything else you'd like!

Hey @Mnkras

Just wanted to let you know there's a new build of Maxel that has automatic updates, that way you'll get new features: http://unregistered.github.io/Maxel/

With that I'm gonna close this feature request now that SFTP is supported

[Mnkras]

Awesome Much easier
