ssh in dreamweaver?

If a webhost told me that I need an ftp client that uses ssh to upload and access a website, is it possible to do this in Dreamweaver?

I built the site in dreamweaver but I don't know much about this ssh stuff.

I think "SFTP" and "Dreamweaver" on Google will answer your question....

It appears that Dreamweaver MX does support SFTP.

Thanks for the input. I’m talking more about ssh (Secure Shell (SSH)). I’ve tried using putty but it doesn’t work correctly. I think I’m just going to get cute ftp.

SSH

SFTP is ftp over SSH. Using Putty you can't do anything but remote management (You can't copy files from your machine to another by using SSH). But what you want is SFTP, which is File Transfer over OpenSSH, ie. Secure ftp.

I downloaded cuteftp Pro the demo version. I plugged the address, username, and password given to me.

I tried setting the protocol to SFTP using SSH2 but its still not connecting. Do you know what I’m doing wrong?

It's more involved than that. Do a bit of seraching. But basically you create a SSH connection (like using PuTTY or something like that) and then tunnel with that connection using an FTP client like Cute, or Dreamweaver. Look on PuTTY's site in their Docs and it explains a bit about tunneling. You set the tunneling to listen on a local port that is unused - http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers - for a complete list of ports and which ones are unassigned. Then your SSH client forwards that protocal thru the SSH tunnel.

Welp I got it to work. Thanks for the help!!

How did you get it to work? Did you use CuteFTP or Dreamweaver?

I ended up just using CuteFTPPro. I set the protocol type to SFTP using SSH2. As soon as I did that it didn't have any problems logging on.
