Issue with SFTP Plugin

#1

Hello,

I’m unable to find the SFTP plugin in Package Control when using “Install Package” (Ctrl+Shift+P).

Previously, it appeared and installed without any issues, but now it no longer shows up in the package list at all.

Manual installation still works, so the issue seems specific to Package Control not listing the package.

Is this due to recent changes in the package repository or channel configuration? Is there a way to restore visibility of the package in Package Control?

Plugin page:
https://packagecontrol.io/packages/SFTP

Thanks for your help,
Cyrus

Certificates of the hosting server expired. Thus no trusted HTTPS connection can be established, which causes Package Control infrastructure to reject/ignore this package.

Is there any way we can fix this?

You may download all older releases from here: https://www.sublimetext.com/dev

That being said, Will mentioned on discord that he’ll take a look into it after May 1th.

For a while, SFTP wasn’t listed as an install package on package control at all. I assume due to the expired certificate. It seems it is listed now. It still wouldn’t install for me though out-of-the-box. I had to add this:

"downloader_precedence": {
    "linux": ["wget", "curl", "urllib"],
},

to the Package Control settings.

Now, SFTP is installable again, but it still won’t work. As long as the package is installed I get this everytime I launch Sublime:

The SFTP package seems to have been installed using an older version of Package Control. Please remove the SFTP package, upgrade Package Control to 2.0.0 and then reinstall SFTP.

I only found this old forum entry:

But the problem seemed to reappear with the most recent dev version.
Anyone knows how I can revive the SFTP plugin.

Package Control is on 4.x and this message is of course non-sense.

The SFTP context menu appears but all menu items are grayed out.

Perhaps it might be easier to go direct … rather than reviving … https://medium.com/@sydasif78/getting-started-with-openssh-a-guide-for-network-engineers-1ed524080529

SFTP shipps with pre-compiled .pyc plugins. Those work only on the python interpreter they were compiled for. If you are on ST4205 or later, you’ll need to wait and hope the author publishes new version compatible with python 3.14.

It’s been months since I sent messages to his site’s support, he never responded…

All the more reason to do it yourself. Sustainability.
