"Secure Shell (SSH/SFTP)" protocol option not available? - jimakos567 - 2019-03-06
Hello, I'm trying to watch some movies over my laptop using my Windows.
More of the details...
I have set up my windows computer with Kodi 18.1 (latest and fresh install).
I also have a Linux PC (Running linux-mint with ssh enabled).
What I'm trying to do is that I want to watch videos (or access my files in general) from my windows-pc to my linux-pc drive over SSH protocol. I remember that I was able to do it in older versions just by adding the network location using the ssh protocol. Apparently i can't find it now.
The issue here seems to be that I can't locate the "Secure Shell (SSH/SFTP)" protocol option.
I'm gonna include a short video (in GIF format) in order to show you my options. Thank you for your time.

Hi
On Kodi 18 you need to install SFTP support from Addons....Virtual Filesystems
Background for these changes is here

Thank you for your reply. I have installed that addon before the fresh install but i didn't notice any changes. Thankfully I tried it after your reply once again and it seems that it's working now. Thank you again.
