 * Thank you, that’s very informative.
 * Can you confirm that this plugin does only use SFTP, and not full SSH?
 * I would like to suggest that you add more documentation than simply “install 
   and go”, since this plugin relies on the upgrade, plugins and possibly other 
   folders being writeable by the SFTP user, and I had to discover this by the trial
   and error method, which shouldn’t be necessary.
 * Additionally, documenting how this plugin does nothing if WordPress decides that
   direct file updating is possible, whether that works or not, and that you can
   force this plugin to be used by setting the FS_METHOD variable to “ssh2”. I would
   have assumed that would have forced the built-in SSH2 support to take over. It’s
   just not clear.
 * Thanks for the great work.
