SFTP connection error (Password not stored/used) – workaround

The following workaround works for me:
1. Close application publii
2. Edit’documents/Publii/sites/yoursitename/input/config/site.config.json’:
  …
  
  “deployment”: {
  “protocol”: “sftp”,
  “relativeUrls”: false,
  …
  “password”: “publii and-here-is-your-sitename”, <— replace this in: “password”: “your-sftp-password”,
  “askforpassword”: false,
3. Save ‘documents/Publii/sites/yoursitename/input/config/site.config.json’
4. Start application Publii
5. Close application Publii without any changes
6. Start application Publii again and sync with your website.
Hope that helps somebody.

🙂

Saving a password in the site.config.json file is a very bad idea – that’s why we store only publi-SITE_NAME value which is used to bind a password with keychain / OS password storage.

If you lost your password in some way – please just provide the password again in the Publii UI.
