When attempting to connect to my hosting site from Rapidweaver 8.5.1 using SFTP protocol I get a message that says RW could not connect; your sign in details are incorrect. I can connect to the hosting site using Filezilla and command line SFTP from OS X using a SSH key. I copy / pasted the server name and user name from my command line SFTP session into both RW and Filezilla. I suppose a typo could be in there, but I don’t believe that’s the issue. Has anyone else encountered this? ---
