Component body

This module adds SFTP support to Backup and Migrate's "Destinations" list. It works in much the same way as the built-in FTP support.

To use it, you must first install the PHP "ssh2" PECL module by following the instructions at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ssh2.installation.php.

Configuration and Usage

Create an SFTP destination exactly the same way you would create an FTP destination, by visiting admin/config/system/backup_migrate/destination and clicking "Add Destination". Most of the parameters are the same, but please note the following:

  • SFTP uses SSH, and thus defaults to port 22, not 21.
  • SFTP requires a full path to a destination directory.
  • Only password authentication is supported at this time.
