Adding SFTP support?

See original GitHub issue

Bug Description Why is SFTP no longer supported on the latest version? I know you can use a previous version to use SFTP but I’d prefer to use the latest version with SFTP.

For googlers… I needed SFTP, but un/pw only, no SSH keys. So I switched to https://github.com/wangyucode/sftp-upload-action

@nicoduesing SFTP uses a SSH connection under the hood. FTPS uses FTP over a SSL connection.

I’m not aware of any hosts that offer only SFTP client access without SFTP. They might be accomplishing that via a restricted SSH account.

Overall you’re correct, depending on the host you might not be able to use rsync. I still think supporting raw FTP and rsync is the best path forward.
