Hey guys.

I only have SFTP enabled as the only externa storage, and this has been working fine until sometime in March, when uploads stopped going to SFTP, and started going to local.

I noticed today that my license key was not applied, so I added the license key, re-added the SFTP config, and tested. Still, uploads are going to local storage instead of the SFTP that is configured as the only active storage upload.

What could be going on here?

Oh so maybe it's not just my install bugged then xD I only have SFTP enabled, I also had to re-apply my licence key on my buggy v4.5.2.

I even added a new storage with the same SFTP settings deactivated the older and tried the newly added but still when to local.

I have kinda gave up and reverted to v4.0.12 missing so many features and UI improvements but for the life of me the upgrade just won't go smooth. I even tried a manual 4.1.0 upgrade instead of a jump to v4.5.2 no joy.

OK, so two of us with the same issue. @Rodolfo thoughts on this?

I'm trying to test this again to make sure I can repeat the bug and if any errors log - I have copied my entire public_html folder and database to a sub-domain on v4.0.12 and used the dashboard Update button. Update says success + Chevereto database has been updated.

However, for some reason it's reverted me to Chevereto Lite/free weren't domain restrictions lifted (not require a dev licence anymore)?

However, can't login to apply ?licence due to "You either don't have permission to access this page or the link has expired." a search of the forums shows its been mentioned previously and about /tmp but sessions are working elsewhere on main website and from some AI provided tests. I assume the database has session cache or some kind I need to "flush" since its moved? Cloudflare is DNS only for the subdomain.

EDIT 10:24 PM Tuesday, April 28, 2026 (GMT+1):
Okay, so it seems connecting to a VPN (Proton) fixed the "You either don't have permission to access this page or the link has expired" error so I guess it cached? Even though I purged DNS, change DNS provider, flush cached etc. Not sure how that'd work for all my users/visitors though? Tell them to get on a VPN to login? Maybe be fine once I move it to root website.

However, I can confirm it is again still using local storage not active SFTP and storing locally on cPanel via /u/2026/04/28/ despite the same active SFTP setting and setup as the main website (which works). It falls to the "CDN" if enabled via Dashboard => System => CDN too. Not my SFTP CDN. Same for Site Storage if I try and use SFTP there.

Rodolfo is welcome to go on my dev branch site to see/test if he wants.

That confirms my Chevereto Upgrade (v4.0.12 > v4.5.2) didn't break by me attempting to enable encryption SFTP in 4.5.2 is actually broken/bugged?

I also noticed when you modify a setting on v4.0.12 (say you decide to stop allow JPG extension) it says "Changes have been saved." yellow alert, on v4.5.12 it doesn't but does still save/submit. Is that a design/UI change?

Installations don't revert to free edition on free will, it happened because you didn't configure the license key in the panel. If your version predates back the introduction of the setting key value, then you need to manually update it first, then add the license key to get that thing working.

Wouldn't my licence already be set and configured from v4.0-v4.0.12 tho? As that edition has been active licence (since purchase) for years? Or was something changed after 4.0.12 to require reapplying?

Anyway, Yes I did update => re-add licence and all features unlocked again. Just broken SFTP I believe everything else is working flawless.

* Tried my Linux VPS + Contabo both "Active" but still insists on using Local. @Barry seems to be using Bunny though as per SS.
