Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web.

Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

gnome-vfs2-ssl: Why is sftp disabled: msg#00052

Subject: gnome-vfs2-ssl: Why is sftp disabled
Hi there,

can anybody tell me why sftp was disabled (via an elaborate patch) in gnome-vfs2-ssl ? See also <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=1160418&group_id=17203&atid=117203>.

It would be cool if somebody could either
* document the reasons for disabling sftp in DescPackaging / DescPort of the .info file
* re-enable sftp support.

I am tempted to do the latter, but I lack the time to do full proper testing right now, plus I thought it would be good to first find out the reasons behind this. It seems this commit in the 10.3 tree added the change (in gnome-vfs2-ssl.patch):

revision 1.4
date: 2004/07/02 15:36:58; author: kconger; state: Exp; lines: +308 -982
GNOME 2.4.x too stable & 2.6.x too unstable.


Cheers,
Max
