SyncFTP

Connect to an SFTP and push/pull file changes to it.

  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates5

This Obsidian.md plugin allows users to sync files to their personal FTP server.

This plugin depends on ssh2-sftp-client and socks to allow for secure file transfer.

Use

Once installed, an additional settings tab for SyncFTP will have been added. There you will need to provide:

  • Host URL
  • Host PORT
  • Username
  • Password
  • Path to vault directory on SFTP: The vault directory will be the base directory for ALL vaults.
  • Notification toggle: Certain Notices will remain, but verbose information Notices will be disabled
  • Download on open toggle: Allows you to download work from the SFTP on open.

If you would like to use a proxy, please fill in the settings:

  • Proxy URL
  • Proxy PORT

When you wish to sync you can either push or pull files to the SFTP using:

  1. Icons (up and down arrow) on the left toolbar
  2. Commands (CTRL-P), which will allow you to set a keyboard shortcut as desired

This process is destructive on the SFTP, and moves local files to your .trash folder.

Support

I am no longer supporting this plugin.
