SFTP AUTH not understood
My MLS provider decided to change from FTP to SFTP for IDX. The only thing that changed was the port (was 21, now 22) and the fact that it now uses SSH to connect (was FTP, now SFTP). I changed the IDXManager settings from FTP to FTPS. I understand that SFTP and FTPS are functionally different but there is no SFTP option.
When I try to import listings, I get this error:
Warning: [obfuscated]() []function.[obfuscated]]: AUTH not understood in /home/****/public_html/web/addons/IDXManager/loader.inc.php on line 744
Connection could not be established.
This is a FNIS server. Surely others have had this issue?

You need to be using the latest version of IDXManager (v2.65) to handle SFTP feeds.

Your IDXManager page (http://www.open-realty.org/extras/idxmanager.html) indicates that the most recent version is v1.0 and that is has not been updated since 10/20/2011. That's why I posted the problem here.

Thanks for letting us know, the version # on the OR Extras site has been updated. IDXM v1.0 predates OR v3 by many years, there have been several updates since then.
Since 2010, updates and change logs for OR and Transparent's commercial add-ons are announced via the Transparent Tech blog: http://www.open-realty.org/blog.html
