#### SFTP (FTP over SSH)
|

If you are getting a curl error similar to `SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK` and you are using SFTP (which is different from FTPS) then you need to supply a known_hosts entry via the `known-hosts` configuration option..
|
||||
|

If you are on Linux, or OSX (using homebrew) you can install the OpenSSH packages and use `ssh-keyscan <hostname>` to get the known_hosts value needed for the server you are connecting to.

### Ignore specific files when deploying
|
||||
Add patterns to `.git-ftp-ignore` and all matching file names will be ignored. The patterns are interpreted as shell glob patterns.

Notes about ftps:
|
||||
- Most hosts don't offer FTPS, it's more common on windows/.net hosts and less common on linux hosting
|
||||
- Most hosts don't have a correct certificate setup for ftp domains, [even my host doesn't do it right](https://ftp.samkirkland.com/). This means you'll likely have to add `--insecure` to `git-ftp-args`

- You will need to create a **SSH** user to deploy over SFTP. Normally this is your cpanel or hosting providers username and password
