Hard to say but I still think your weewx user's ssh setup vs. your remote system is incorrect.
- use your normal account and ssh in 'without' a password using a passwordless keypair and see if it works - do the same test from the weewx account and see if that also works If you can ssh in as yourself but 'not' as weewx, that means your weewx .ssh/config setup isn't quite right.... Remember - you need a 'passwordless' keypair for weewx. On Friday, July 5, 2024 at 8:20:39 AM UTC-7 Ben W. wrote: > > Thanks - that was able to work for me.
