scp or sftp optional port number

[Stephen2615]

Greetings

My web server host requires a specific port for sftp (or scp which is not yet available). Eg, 12345. So my sftp command would look something like:

sftp -oPort=12344 me@there.com.

Can this be configured in the ftp-settings.sh?

Thanks

Stephen

@Stephen2615 Allsky currently doesn't support specifying the port number.
You can add it to scripts/upload.sh". Look for the line with open --user on it, then add -p 12344 to that line.

The next release of Allsky will include a "REMOTE_PORT" variable in ftp-settings.sh.

Great, thanks for your help.

That worked. The directory structure is different when using sftp v ftp. Previously, I was ftping into the webserver public_html directory but sftp goes the root directory of the user. This meant some directory changes for the end of night uploads.
