I can't find anything about it on my Windows 10 machine either.

Like many Windows components, you have to install it. But unlike a third party package, you install it from Microsoft.

I will have to look at it. To answer your original question though I believe it is just not known enough. I just Googled for SFTP on Windows 10 and I got nothing but Swish, WinSCP, and Putty. No mention of Microsoft's product at all which is ashame.

I know it has had FTP for many years but not the secure version.

The secure version of FTP is FTP/S and Microsoft has had that in IIS for a very long time. SFTP is a different protocol than FTP or FTP/S. FTP/S is SSL encrypted FTP. SFTP is an FTP-like system that is part of the SSH protocol family. So while they are similar in use, they are not related in any way.

Sorry I wasn't clear here. When I said secure version I meant SFTP instead of FTP/S

Ok I see, I wasn't aware it was a free install. Why don't they just include it natively?

I guess I'm a little behind but I didn't think Windows 10 or Server 16 had SFTP built in natively. Running it in a vm wither their Ubuntu doesn't really count for any use to a Windows admin either right? I know it has had FTP for many years but not the secure version. I've also never had a reason to use SFTP on Windows either for that matter. I can't find anything about it on my Windows 10 machine either. Did I misunderstand the question?

That worked great. Thanks Scott! Updating my documentation now

Thanks a lot! Trying that now

We use DameWare here and it works great. You should like it. Using PDQ for deployment also and we have been happy with it.

Hi all,
I am having issues setting up Mediawiki on a small little vm for testing purposes. I am testing because I would like to set this up at work for my department.

I have it setup on another vm here at home but its using much older versions of everything. The install just didn't go as smooth this time so trying to figure out what I am missing or what has changed.

I believe I am missing some package but do not know why as I started with a new install of Fedora 26. Some basic info in case I am overlooking something:

I downloaded the new .iso of Fedora 26 and installed it on a vm.
Installed httpd, started it, enabled it.
I can see the apache start page by goign to base url.
Installed mariadb-server started it and enabled it. Then did the secure installation. All went well.
Created database, a new user, and granted all my privileges.
Installed php along with php-common, php-gd, php-cli,php-mbstring,php-pear, php-zendopcache..
I created and can get to my info.php so that seems to be working.
I installed mediawiki and can get to the install page at my home url but I get an error which is :

Could not find a suitable database driver! You need to install a database driver for PHP. The following database types are supported: MySQL (or compatible), PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, SQLite.

Now in my installed packages list for php above you might notice I left out php-mysql which was in my documentation to install from last time. I keep notes about everything I do so I can repeat processes as needed with as little error as possible. Anyway, when i try to download php-mysql it says it isn't available.

***** dnf install php-mysql

No package php-mysql available.*****

I don't know if this is related but I get the same about epel-release as well. Did these go away or something ?

dnf install epel-release
Last metadata expiration check: 2:06:43 ago on Sun 16 Jul 2017 04:01:50 PM CDT.
No package epel-release available.

So to summarize my Mediawiki error says I need a database driver for php that works with Mariadb. Sorry for the long post. Anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?

Steak and Baked potato from Texas Roadhouse then oreao ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins for my birthday today. It was all delicious. Wife still eating on my cake.

Having an affiliate program is not necessarily a bad thing. Its just suspect when people recommend products that don't fit a certain situation. Xero is a great product for most businesses whereas Quickbooks is not. So its a different situation in my opinion, something akin to apples and oranges you know.

Ok I see. I suppose the other people need to work on their marketing then. I want to look at Wave then they sound interesting.

Haven't seen any issues here yet.

Well what this thread tells me is that their is a nice opportunity for a software company to develop something with the 1-2 user base in mind.

Yeah I still play too, the original, not the project 1999. Still fun

Lol cool and with all the server shifting I couldn't even tell you what server Prexus is now. I play on cazic thule with a shadowknight and rogue.

Live. Played nonstop since 1999

Everquest!

Yep I'll glad support ML like that. People and blogs that I like I try to click on ads there to help support.

I;m going to look at them, thanks!

got it thanks
