Issue Summary

I'm wondering if there's a way to use ssh/sftp instead of ftp for remote destinations. It's the only way I can access a client's server, hence the necessity.

Thanks.

looks like it may be possible to write a destination type for ssh/sftp with the ssh2 PECL extension: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ssh2-sftp.php

I'm not sure I'll have time to work on this though, so if somebody else wants to pick up this mantle I'd be happy to lend a hand with the integration part.

Yes I don't know anyone who uses straight ftp, sftp would be useful though.

+1. I'd be highly interested in this as well, probably implementing with ssh2-sftp. I'd be interesting in developing this when I get the time as well. Using FTP isn't practical.
