i can't reproduce that; i've just used 0.7.01 sftp and scp backups without major problems, using sftp://me@somehost/location as well as scp://me@somehost/location. >Now, if I try to run any of the duplicity commands, I get the following: > > BackendException: ssh connection to user@hostname:22 failed: No authenticatio >n methods available looks like you need to set up ssh-agent and key auth, or use --ssh-askpass or provide the password to duplicity via FTP_PASSWORD. i've tested all three options and they work fine. it looks as if the strictness of the auth handling changed somewhere between 0.6.24 and 0.7.01, but the changelog doesn't show anything pertinent. i believe the old version fell back to interactive asking without insisting on --ssh-askpass if no suitable ssh-agent was a/v. regards az -- Alexander Zangerl + GPG Key 0xB963BD5F (or 0x42BD645D) + http://snafu.priv.at/ "A decade ago, I observed that commercial certificate authorities protect you from anyone from whom they are unwilling to take money.
