Started on SFTP support
Today I seriously started on providing SFTP support for uploading a blog. I've found a SSH library by a guy called Aris in Belgium, which is written in C and contains a set of dedicated SFTP functions, so that should make things easier. I've provided a selector in the preferences dialog box, so that the user can select whether to use FTP or SFTP (or none). Trouble is, the radio button type selector doesn't work very well, and when it displays on a Mac it doesn't look very good. And another Qt bug appears when you use the layout device in Qt designer. Basically it puts a red box round a set of widgets in Qt designer, but when it comes up in your program, the outer edges of the widgets just disappear. I should take screenshots of these bugs and send them to Qt - I've since removed the buttons, and replaced them with a "combo box".
I've not even started writing the actual SFTP upload routines yet, though. It looks like they may block the normal operation of the program, which the Qt FTP upload features don't.
