Synchronisation using SFTP

[ArthurMitchell42]

Describe the feature you'd like to request

While WebDAV is commonly available has it been considered to use SFTP over SSH please?
While SFTP might be a little slower it is a lot more secure.
Regs,
Arthur

Describe the solution you'd like

By adding an SFTP sync option on the setup it would require

• a server address
• path to file with file name
• a user name
• a password for decrypting the key
• a box to paste the private key

Describe alternatives you've considered

I currently use WebDAV. Unfortunately my only strong language is Python so I don’t feel able to have a go at this myself.

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since.
I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one
than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

hello @ArthurMitchell42
Sadly web extensions are not allowed to open tcp sockets, so this is not possible. I will have to close this request due to this.

Ok, thank you for looking at this.
