[SOLVED] Getting Dreamweaver to connect via SFTP

RandomTroll · 10-13-2014, 04:43 PM

Dreamweaver can't connect when it uses SFTP. I just noticed that when Dreamweaver users try to connect SSHD logs, 'subsystem request for sftp'; when I sftp in that doesn't appear in the logs. What does it mean?

I really wanted to know what that extra message means. When I search on it I get a bunch of extraneous stuff. Why does SSH make a subsystem request? How is that different from other connections? It's enabled in sshd_config; the program exists.

Note that I know nothing about Dreamweaver other than that it exists, but I found this. Maybe it will help:

It seems the problem was elsewhere. I don't use Dreamweaver and have to reply on the reports of others. After quizzing them more carefully it seems the problem was operator error. I'd still like to know what causes the 'subsystem request' log entry; how I connect doesn't cause it.

Glad you got it figured out.
