Re: Hoping for a working example of SFTP in PHP

[David Spector <david025@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Scott,

SFTP using just username and password is almost as insecure as FTP (it 
may encrypt the file contents during transfer but probably does not 
encrypt the filename or metadata, and it fails to use the RSA protocol).

In any case, I have already experimented with the example you cite 
unsuccessfully.

I do appreciate your participation, but I am looking for a complete 
working example as described in my original question.

You are omitting the heart of SFTP, which is using a private key 
successfully. Modern file encryption needs a private key for security, 
and it is here that most examples fail to work.

Thanks,

David
