Title: Re: Up/Downloading a File to/from Website
Yes, I have downloaded that and am trying to figure out what’s involved in using it. Thanks.
Frankly, this seems to be such a basic function, that I’m surprised there is no simple system-level support built-in. Also, it doesn’t look like a certain unnamed future system provides any additional help here. :-(

Kind of, but not very well in practice, in my experience. It’s even worse than WebDAV.

I have a dim recollection that it’s read-only, but I’m not certain.

No, that would be WebDAV. You’d also need support for the rest of the WebDAV HTTP extensions to do things like getting directory listings.
Have you looked for a Cocoa library that supports SFTP? I just typed in “cocoa sftp” and the 2nd hit on Google was
https://github.com/karelia/ConnectionKit
which looks like exactly what you’d want.
