Well, there is "gio mount sftp://USER@XYZ" after which you can access the files under "/run/user/1000/gvfs/sftp:host=XYZ,user=USER/SOME_PATH/…"

- nine_k 4y agoIn my latest experience, this handles disconnects due to laptop sleep pretty roughly. Far better than nothing though, and is integrated in many GUI tools that use GTK.
- madacol 4y agoWait!!!, I always thought SFTP was just FTP server with SSL. Wow, thanks!
- abeyer 4y agoSFTP is totally different from FTP (and FTPS) -- it's an ssh protocol extension, and is commonly enabled and served by your sshd.
- palunon 4y agoNot at all, SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol, an SSH2 protocol extension) doesn't have anything to with FTP (outside of the name), and only require an ssh server that supports it - OpenSSH does for example. You might be confusing it with FTPS (FTP Secure, or FTP over SSL/TLS). (To add to the confusion, there are some FTP servers that also support SFTP - so they act as SSH servers)
- bityard 4y agoYeah, SFTP is a silly name because it has no relation to FTP. You're thinking of FTPS which is FTP+TLS.
- npteljes 4y agoIt's reasonable to be confused. SFTP is both Simple File Transfer Protocol, and later Secure File Transfer Protocol, and also there is FTPS, which would be FTP over SSL.
- bityard 4y agoIs there a way to mount only a particular remote directory? If I specify a path after the host, it always mounts the whole remote machine's filesystem which is almost never what I want.
