Help: I only have SFTP/SSH access, How can I update my WordPress plugins?

Ran into this one today. A site with only SFTP/SSH access, and the server required the “FTP” method of updating plugins/WordPress. Remember FTPS is not SFTP. FTPS runs over HTTPS/SSL, while SFTP runs over SSH. Confusing? Fortunately there’s a nice little plugin called, SSH SFTP Updater Support. You must download it, then upload the contents [...]

seangw — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:47:41 +0000

A post I wrote a few weeks ago with the launch of iTunes 10.4.1 identified that my Logitech keyboard (using SetPoint software) media keys stopped working once I updated to iTunes 10.4.1. Originally I thought it would fix the issue, then it didn’t. In the past few days I found they would work again if [...]

My iPhone 3GS (yeah, the “fast” one) has been getting slower and slower since the iOS 4 update. Recently calls have come in without answer buttons popping up instantly. Whenever I call up the keyboard I can now type an entire sentence before seeing anything show up. I have found something you can do to [...]

This was very frustrating. Normally I’m used to logging in with: https://www.google.com/adsense/ This would usually redirect me to the [...]
