My web hosting company wants me to use SFTP/SSH to upload my web site.
I need to specify a Port Address for this but there doesn't seem to be any way of doing this in the Web Properties > Other Web Hosts Settings.
Any suggestions?

Hi
. . . . web hosting company wants me to use SFTP/SSH . . . I need to specify a Port Address . . . .
Changing the FTP protocol to SFTP in the Advanced setting of the 'other web host' option as shown below.
should be all that is necessary - which port is used is then negotiated with the host web server.
The rest of the information for the Advanceed dialog you should already have from the hosting company

I have discovered two changes that are needed to fix this problem:
1) The FTP Host Address must be followed by the post address e.g fred.host.co.uk:1234
2) The optional sub-folder addres must be the full address e.g. /home/fred/public_html/my_web_site
SFTP(SSH-FTP) then works in Xara Web Designer. Only took two hours of intensive work!!!!
Hi
Thanks for the feedback.
The hosting company appears to have a custom set up for the web server.
The only time I have had to specify a specific folder is when I had multiple personal web sites in my web hosting space with different domain names pointing to each sites folder.
