Hello everyone,

I am a bit stuck trying to set up a SFTP on my local Galaxy. I already have an FTP server as described in the Galaxy wiki and in this post "http://galacticengineer.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/ftp-upload-to-galaxy-using-proftpd-and.html", which works correctly with the user authentication.

The problem is that when I switched to SFTP (using some posts that described how to do this on ProFTPD with mod_sftp.c), the user authentication stopped working. I don't really know what specific modifications should I do to the proftpd.conf file, which is the same as the one in the wiki, to make it works.

I would really appreciate if you have any idea about how to change from FTP to SFTP in Galaxy or if any of you have a config file working for SFTP.

Hi Jose,

Are you certain that when you're testing SFTP, you are using ProFTPD's SFTP server, and not an sftp service (i.e. via OpenSSH) already running on the system? One important distinction: SFTP and FTPS are not the same thing.

Thank you and best regards,

Jose
