I tried to follow this guide from Jonathan Dingman to let WordPress install and update plugins via SSH2, but ran into a few snags. (Our VPS is a 1 GB Linode slice running Ubuntu 10.04.)
I had to run:
apt-get install libssh2-1-dev
to be able to get:
pecl install channel://pecl.php.net/ssh2-0.11.2
to compile cleanly. I tried the pecl command in the guide, but it’s for 0.11.0.
The rest of the guide went smoothly, and now I can update automagically.
