Description
This plugin uploads the validation challenge via SSH-FTP, also known as SFTP.
web.config
Optionally this plugin can place a web.config next to the validation file, to
help IIS properly serve the response. This automatically fixes some of the issues mentioned in
IIS configuration. In interactive mode the program
will ask you if you want to do this. In unattended mode you can request it using the
command line toggle --manualtargetisiis (if the source is IIS, this is automatically applied).
The web.config that will be copied lives in the root of the program directory with the
name web_config.xml. You can modify it to fit your needs. Let us know if you could use a similar feature for uploading an .htaccess!
