Not really sure why you would go out of the way to do it but I have also mounted my shares with ssfs. I never had a problem.

I've tried this without success on ubuntu and osx running dharma rc1 binary downloads, is this an option only available after compiling from source? I tried adding the source by going to videos > Add source and typing in the server following topfs2's syntax but it errors out with "Unable to connect" on every attempt. I feel like i must be missing something obvious because i've tried entering it manually as a source in as many places/combinations i can think of without any success.

Sorry to revive an old thread.

@topfs2: is it possible to change the port XBMC uses to connect to SFTP? My web file server uses a non-standard port. Thanks.

Gonna bump this thread.. couldnt find anything regarding using a non-default port. Any help would be truly appreciated Smile

Forgot about this, looking through the source and we do not set the port. Please submit a feature request on trac and cc me.

Hope I did it right (first time using trac) Smile

looks good Smile Thanks, I'll see if I find some time before eden or if someone else does. Shouldn't be that hard of a patch so also good for non-team members if they want a way into the sources (not saying you just saying incase someone reads this thread).

Cheers,
Tobias

Anyone know how to set public key auth inside XBMC to use sftp on windows?
