SFTP replaces FTP in macOS High Sierra
- Typing: "ftp www.myDomainName.ext" in Mac's terminal now produces:
- "
-bash: ftp: command not found
"
- Typing: "sftp www.myDomainName.ext" in Mac's terminal now produces:
- "
computerusersaccountname@www.myDomainName.ext's password:
"
- Where the part to the left of the @ sign is the computer user's account name.
- If the ftp login user's name is the same as the computer user's account name, this is fine.
Type in the ftp password and you are good to go.
- Otherwise, if the two user names do not match you will get a:
"Permission denied, please try again.
" message.
- If the two user names do not match, use technique #3
- Typing: "sftp ftpUserName@www.myDomainName.ext" in Mac's terminal will produce:
- "
ftpUserName@www.myDomainName.ext's password:
"
- Entering the correct password for the ftp account should connect you as long as you also have the correct ftp user's name entered without any typos.
