A user suggests to use Rsync instead, as Rsync is running through SSH for weewx. see http://www.weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#config_RSYNC "*Fast, efficient, and secure, it does an incremental update, that is, it only synchronizes those parts of a file that have changed, saving the outgoing bandwidth of your Internet connection. *
* If you wish to use rsync, you must configure passwordless ssh using public/private key authentication from the user account that WeeWX runs, to the user account on the remote machine where the files will be copied.*" Indeed an option to try. I'll switch to that.
