   Hi. I have a question regarding plugins and sFTP. I've been looking around and have seen screenshots where upgrade-plugin page has an option to use sFTP instead of FTP for automatically upgrading plugins. My Wordpress does not give me this option. How do I go about turning it on? The server I use requires that I use sFTP.

   Any help would be appreciated.

   Connection Type FTP
   FTPS (SSL)

   No. I only see:

   Connection Type FTP

   What do you mean 'host field' ?

   SFTP is different to FTPS - see here for more information http://devioustree.co.uk/2009/02/21/auto-update-wordpress-with-sftp/ and here http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/make_ssh_connections_with_php/
