I have been blogging for a while and WLW is a great program! Right now, I can't seem to log into my organization's server which is set up for SFTP over SSH. I wanted to upload media from my desktop through WLW's ftp capabilities. Any help here? I also tried adding a specific point number (:22) at the end of the link, and my WLW crashed :(.
I think Windows Live Writer only works with standard FTP protocol. Simply adding a port number wouldn't affect it. SFTP and FTP are different, so I’d hold to say that the ADMINs would've code a SFTP function in to Windows Live Writer.
I don't think this helps you, but perhaps provides a limit to Windows Live Writer.
