[BlueOnyx:07775] Wordpress / PHP CMS > SFTP

[Jeff Jones]

Hi guys,

Anyone tried doing this on BX?

http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/make_ssh_connections_with_php/

We do not allow any FTP connections in or out of the datacenter - only SFTP. This creates a problem with CMS's like Wordpress because they like to use FTP to auto update.

I know Wordpress allows FTPS - but this creates more problems with NATs etc. We would like to use SFTP as it's much simpler.

This guy appears to suggest that by applying these updates - PHP will be able to use SFTP??

Any comments?

Jeff
