Apple TV SFTP Support

Postby szuniverse » 17 Apr 2019 20:57

Now the iOS / Apple TvOS app is supporting: SMB, FTP, Plex protocols. Do you plan guys to support SFTP protocol?

It is supported, but not exposed, yet.

@Jean So functionally, it's not available for tvOS users (yet). Is that the correct interpretation? If so, is there an ETA of exposing SFTP support on tvOS?

Many thanks for this feature! I was able to join the beta (on iPhone) but don’t see VLC in TestFlight on Apple TV. Maybe the latest build doesn’t include an Apple TV version? The TestFlight page says “compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch” with no mention of Apple TV. Also, on Apple TV, I can only install version 3.0.x of VLC, whereas the App Store version for iPhone/iPad is 3.2.x. I’m signed into the same iCloud account on all devices and am using tvOS 15 7 iOS 15.0.2. Any ideas how I can get the beta for Apple TV?

The latest testflight for Apple TV expired not so long ago.

Another one will be made soon.
