How to connect to your web server over SFTP with Dreamweaver
Problem:
FTP is very insecure.
SFTP (SSH) is much more secure. You can connect to your server just fine with Putty but when you use Dreamweaver, it won’t connect.
Solution:
You have to set “PasswordAuthentication yes” in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
It is set to NO by default.
Restart ssh and it works.
