FTP + SSH with Total Commander

Daniel Gasinski

Short tutorial on how to get going with SFTP in Total Commander. Stay tuned to the forum for latest.

1. Download the SFTP plugin from http://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm
2. Open the zip-file using Total Commander, it should ask you to install the plugin. Do install.
3. Download Curl package v.7.26. Nota bene! The latest version 7.27 from http://curl.haxx.se/ doesn't seem to work (according to ghisler: forum) so watch out. I got some "Exception in sftpplug.wfx:FsFindFirstW!").
4. Copy, to the plugin directory, the following Curl package files located in ..\curl-7.26.0-devel-mingw32.zip\curl-7.26.0-devel-mingw32\bin\
  • libeay32.dll
  • libssh2.dll
5. In Total Commander hit alt+F1 > \ (for Network Neighborhood) > Secure FTP (the plugin you installed) > _Quick Connection.

And you are doing SFTP with TC!
