SFTP needs the SSH2 libary complied in to PHP, if it’s not there the options won’t be available in the remote storage options.
V1.6.7 also now includes support for SFTP without the need for the PHP SSH2 library.
Hi Greg –
Thanks for the responses. We added in the SSH2 library after your first response, and then updated the plug-in after your second response.
It appears to successfully ftp the backup; however, it does throw an error at the tail end of the background process when it tries to close the ftp connection. Can you help with this? Error is below –
Warning: ftp_close(): supplied resource is not a valid FTP Buffer resource in /var/www/mysite/wp-content/plugins/cyan-backup/includes/protocol-sftplibrary.php on line 27 Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/mysite/wp-content/plugins/cyan-backup/includes/protocol-sftplibrary.php:27) in /var/www/mysite/wp-content/plugins/cyan-backup/cyan-backup.php on line 564 {“result”:true,”method”:”backup”,”backup_file”:”\/tmp\/mysite.20140313.171640.zip”,”backup_date”:”March 13, 2014 @ 5:16 pm”,”backup_size”:”83.45 MB”,”backup_deleted”:null}
The code looks ok, as the close command isn’t very important try changing line 27 in includes/protocol-sftplibrary.php from:
ftp_close( $sftp_connection );
to
@ftp_close( $sftp_connection );
This will suppress the error message.
Thanks Greg. That did eliminate the error message. Are you going to include that code change in future versions? However, I understand that you’re saying it doesn’t have any real impact.
The plug-in seems to work great – very nice job in comparison to any of the other backup plug-ins I tried.
Thanks very much.
Thanks, I wrote it because I couldn’t find a good one either 🙂
I will include it in future releases.
