Gary, yes, I did try to install pysftp via pip, it failed, and I went onto other things. Will read more about this (including Matt's *readme*) and try this tomorrow. Meanwhile I'm having problems related to plain ftp that defy logical consistency but that's for another subject. On Monday, May

I think the weewx-sftp issue was the inability to install pysftp via pip. It installed fine for me on raspbian Stretch last night though I needed to use pip2 not pip. A bit of googling the OPs pip error message suggested pip may need to be upgraded, wouldn’t be the first time that has come up.

one.com's robotic tech support said they only do ftp, sftp, and ssh, and don't support ftps. I don't think that offshore robot even knew what ftps was. So can somebody tell me about the thing that MWALL has on github? My pi's all have ssh enabled and can ssh & scp amongst each other. Not sure

If you connect via the command line command "ftp", it will usually tell you the server make. BTW, let's switch to weewx-user for these questions. That way, others can contribute and learn. -tk On Mon, May 25, 2020 at 12:09 PM Messy Potamia wrote: > They haven't replied what kind of server

They haven't replied what kind of server they use. They're a pretty big hosting entity (one.com). I've been using their service for about 7 years, it includes my host name and about 20Gig of server space (I only host two weewx wx systems on it, so use less than 2%) and a bunch of other services

WeeWX supports FTPS, not SFTP. Two questions: Which one does your server support? If it supports FTPS, do you know what kind of FTP server it is? The PureFTP server tickles a bug in the Python FTP library, but we have a work around. -tk On Mon, May 25, 2020 at 3:12 AM Messy Potamia wrote: >

Note, per another post the relevance of which I'm not certain, i added the following to the [[FTP]] section secure_ftp = True secure_data = False Makes no difference, still won't connect. Filezilla using sftp connects fine, and the native weewx ftp connects fine. I'm trying to use secure

I should amend the subj line from "sftp" to "secure_ftp" because I understand that sftp doesn't work, and I was intending to use the native secure_ftp feature. On Monday, May 25, 2020 at 11:33:06 AM UTC+2, Messy Potamia wrote: > > -- > > In summary, the Secure FTP capability is indicated in
