How do I set a default SFTP path?

The app doesn't yet provide a way to set a default SFTP path for a host / local host.

However, here's what you can do in the case an OpenSSH server:

  1. Open the sshd_config file on the server you're connecting to.
  2. Add -d "<path>" at the end of the line beginning with Subsystem sftp, e.g:
    Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/sftp-server -d "/home/etc/www/Mysite/plugins"

<path> will act as the default SFTP directory on this server.

    Hello - I am wondering if this feature is scheduled to be added. Its a bit frustrating having to put in the site path everytime I access my server via sftp.

    Is this something that is coming?
