Unable get GoDaddy to work with SFTP

#1

Hi,

I am unable get GoDaddy to work with SFTP.

I think I have something wrong with my remote path for example

“remote_path”: “/home/content/12/3456789/html/mywebsite.com/”,

My user and password work fine then I get the following error:

Validating remote folder “/home/content/12/3456789/html/mywebsite.com/” … failure (Folder not found)
Initial folder and contents:
“/”
“/.errordocs/”
“/.htaccess”
“/_db_backups/”
“/my-website.com/”
“/crontab”
“/another-site.com/”
“/yetanother-site.com/”

I am using shared hosting and it picks up the folder I want access to (mywebsite.com) and the sites I have in there as well so why is it not working?

Thanks :smiley:

You just need to set the remote_path to one of those paths. So:

“remote_path”: “/my-website.com”

wbond - You pointed me in the right direction… Setting up an FTP account put me in “/public_html/”… all I needed to enter was “remote_path” : “/”…

Thank you for SFTP… So slick and sharp
