Hi,
I’m trying to install the Sonos plugin.
I’m working on a MAC and I have installed Filezilla and Cyberduck.
How can I connect to Vera to upload the files in the correct folders?
Kind regards,
Pieter-Jan
Try Rbrowser on the MAC to do it the a GUI
What are the credentials I have to use to connect to the vera?
What port number do I need to connect to?
Vera or Veratile?
you are: root on both of them
the password is under your Vera3 (on a sticker) or on Veralite it is in one of your backups
you will SSH on i Believe port 22
By the way, Cyberduck and Forklift, for some reason did not allow me to connect to Vera.
Only rbrowser, I used it for it’s free period. I would have paid the $30 for it but I just needed it for Vera and to clean up old files or upload Plugins… so very little use.
I do run a VM of windows… but lots of overhead to just run WINSCP.
I did some digging, I used Wine Bottler, to make WINSCP run under the MAC without windows.
It works perfect! so WINSCP running in native OSX, pretty cool !

User=root
Password you can find on bottom of Vera 3

If you are happy to use the command line you can use the scp program which comes standard on Mac OS X. That’s about the most lightweight option available.

I agree, when messing with Files I chicken out when I can and like to point and copy, delete or whatever. All the OSX Sftp apps would not connect to Vera except rbrowser for $30. And that’s no big deal but to purchase a license seemed like a lot of hoops
Hi all, sorry this doesn’t work for me. There is no ftp password under my Vera 3, although the wifi one is there. When I look in a backup there is a passwd file, I assumed the password was (root:GPBLD1KYymcfZ:0:0:root:/root:/bin/ash first part (G-Z) of this string, but that doesn’t connect. Also my ftp program supports sftp but only gives options of TLS/SSL or Implicit. Is the password right but something else wrong? Cheers.
That’s not your password but a hash of your password. In other words, you can’t get your password from this string.
If you ever upgraded Veras (e.g. from a Vera2 to Vera3) and restored a backup from your old Vera during the upgrade then your password is what was printed on the bottom of your old Vera, not your current one.
Use the FTP method only for icon files if you want to do a manual install.
The better solution is simply to install the plugin from the app store, all is done automatically. No need of a SFTP client.
