Sftp support

[Joshua Blount]

I'd love to see sftp support in the export options.

This is already possible.

Connect to a website via Places ▸ Connect to Server..., and then you'll be able to select your server folder under the 'Places' tab in the upload dialog.

Let me know if that doesn't work!

This worked ok for me, but I was thinking that when I was looking at the screenshot, I could hit <ctrl>+u and it would be uploaded to my default. Perhaps my bugs should have been more specific.

Thanks for the triage though! I'll revisit this when I've used Shutter a bit more.

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

You mean it should remember the last used tab?

I would agree with that.

[Joshua Blount (jblount)]

That, or you could set a default. If unset, the window should pop that allows you to select a place.

IMHO most people would upload to the same place everytime, and this would remove a step in the process to sharing screenshots (which is my primary use, something like the followin:

1. Find something weird / funny / interesting
2. Decide it's too hard to recreate and take a screenshot (instead of asking the person I'd like to take a look to recreate)
3. Find a way to get a working link to the screenshot I just took (previously I would scp it to my server)
4. Copy link into communications window (irc, twitter, im, email, etc)

So my _most favorite ever_ way to get this done would look like:

1. Right click on Shutter, click selection
2. Make selection and get popup showing me my image
3. <ctrl> + u = Upload photo and somehow copy the url of the uploaded photo to my clipboard. (Some other thing in the upload panel that would be like 'what would the url to this image look like' and I could type in http://etc.joshuablount.com/ss/%s )

One can always dream!

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

OK, so I think bug #339920 and bug #341810 being fixed would realize your favourite way, yes?

[Joshua Blount (jblount)]

WINNER! (thanks for talking me through this)

I was using a program called ScreenCloud that did what Joshua is saying.

However, in Ubuntu 14.04 it is no longer in the repository, so I started using Shutter again.

Shutter is very full featured, but I'm desperately missing ScreenCloud's sftp option.

Shutter has ftp, but ftp sends passwords in clear text over the internet to my ISP (not secure enough).

So, I wish shutter had the ablity to directly setup sftp for uploads, and then copy the url of the upload location to clipboard (like ScreenCloud did).

Yes, this does work but it needs support to copy the URL to the clipboard after upload.

Here is a picture of ScreenCloud's SFTP config screen.
