Application Development and SSH

[tiger2808]

Exaclty what the title and summary say...

Developing a small application for a client and their hosting server requires that I use an SSH tunnel.

While I reached it using Navicat - Dreamweaver isn't playing nice and won't let me connect.

What options do I have regarding this? It has served to be a formidable roadblock and being a designer as opposed to a programmer - my hands are currently flailing in the air in a mass of confusion.

Any help?

Dreamweaver, out of the box, will do SFTP, but not FTP over SSH. I believe
there is a technote on the DW Support site that discusses using a
third-party SSH tool (putty, I think?) to create a tunnel to FTP through,
however. Take a look to see if that meets your need.

Best regards,
Chris

Being on OSX and not UNIX savvy - how should be approaching this problem?

I'm at a standstill not knowing how to proceed.
Should I be doing EVERYTHING local?

In earlier versions of Dreamweaver, before SFTP was made available, we
pretty much had to develop locally and deploy with a best-of-breed product.
You may have to do the same. Develop locally, then deploy with Navicat. I
don't see much more of an option for you. Granted it's an extra step, but
it will usually work the way you want it to.

Best regards,
Chris
