    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      The new editor does not properly create links that do not use one of the standard web protocols when inserting with the Insert Link dialog (e.g. http://, ftp://). It creates the <a> but without a href attribute. In 3.5 and earlier, you could create a link for any protocol type using wiki markup: [something://mysite.com]. Inserting the wiki markup results in the link being stripped and the URI appearing as plaintext.

      The only workaround is to insert a link manually with the HTML macro, but not all sites will be able to enable this macro for security reasons.

            We're in 2022 and still no winscp-sftp:// or sftp:// because the vendor thinks they know better than the system owners.

            Hi Steven Lancashire,

             

            We won't ever be able to support all schemes, as some schemes provide security risks, which is the reason for this filtering in the first place.

            This should be decided by the admin, not by the vendor.
