Has anyone seen a tutorial that covers doing SFTP transfers with mc?
Instruction are found on its man page and if you launch mc, select “SFTP link,” then F1, it prints out the appropriate section from the man page.
The short tutorial is if the user exists on both machines, select “SFTP link,” enter the ip address or hostname, then you will be prompted to add it to known_hosts on initial connection followed with a password prompt. Ideally, you would use a key pair to connect without a password, but the setup is more involved.
Note if connecting to a system using dropbear versus openssh, use “Shell link” for dropbear is strictly SSH and doesn’t run a seperate process for SFTP like openssh.
Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
