We have just beefed up security on our server and I now cannot connect with Sublime Text 3.
In WinSCP I needed to set the encryption setting to “Require explicit ftp over TLS” for it to connect. How can I make that change to settings in SFTP, I cannot see a setting for encryption?
Thank you in advance for any help.
For explicit TLS, you need to set the "type": "ftps" in your sftp-config.json file.
Get failure(Connection refused)
Same security data entered that allows SFTP to login to the server.
“type”: “sftp”,
“port”: “22”,
“password”:
FTP is different than FTP over TLS, hence the different "type" in the config file. When TLS is used, an explicit TLS connection needs to be made to the server first, then an FTP connection is made over the TLS connection.
SFTP is a 100% different protocol utilizing SSH as the base transport layer. If that works for your connection, I would recommend it.
If you want help getting FTPS working, please send a debug log (https://wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp/support#Generating_a_Debug_Log) to the support email listed on that page.
