install only remote / sftp support?
Hey folks,

just starting with NSIS and it looks really cool! :)

I *have* searched the forum for my questions but couldn't find a reference to them. If there are posts for them please just point me to the given thread.

I'm trying to create an installer for a pure web-application (which is written in php) and the installer should allow to
a) install locally in case a webserver is installed already
b) install remote through ftp / sftp and not leaving any trace locally.

I think I can manage to create these two install options but I couldn't find a setting to avoid installing the files locally.
Is there a way to?

The remote-upload is shown in
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Recursive_Upload
and should work fine so far but does it support sftp / scp too? Or is there a plugin with support for sftp / scp?

Again, if any of these were discussed already please point me to the appropriate threads :).


Thanks in advance,

Thomas

Ok, I'm as far as doing the remote install by ftp without problems and simply deleting the local installation after the upload.
unfortunately some directories (from the last section before the upload) can't be deleted here. dunno yet why.
I even managed to collect the db-settings and write the config file ;).
I have to admit, its a great install system :).

Some uploader with sftp/scp support would still be highly interesting.


thanks,

thomas

just curious if anyone after a while found a way to do *only* a remote install without the need to install locally and remove it again!?

Is there sftp support for NSIS?
