Joël Krähemann reported today to savannah-users that sftp upload was not working. Of course this was disabled Nov-2016 due to security concerns. I stated that scp and rsync were supported and recommended using rsync.
Unfortunately I didn't test it before sending out that message. Seeing Matt Wette's message with a similar problem led me to test it. I found it not working. But I am not sure why. $ rsync -avv testfile [email protected]:/releases/administration/ opening connection using: ssh -l rwp download.savannah.gnu.org rsync --server -vvlogDtpre.iLsfxC . /releases/administration/ (9 args) sending incremental file list ...hangs for a long time... $ scp testfile [email protected]:/releases/administration/ scp: /releases/administration//testfile: Permission denied However this is the same on the old system. So really it is no change between the old and the new. $ scp testfile [email protected]:/releases/administration/ Permission denied (publickey). lost connection $ rsync -avv testfile [email protected]:/releases/administration/ opening connection using: ssh -l rwp olddownload.savannah.gnu.org rsync --server -vvlogDtpre.iLsfxC . /releases/administration/ (9 args) Permission denied (publickey). rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(235) [sender=3.1.2] But I am so far defeated as to figuring out why it is blocking this access on either system. I am going to acknowledge the report for feedback and then have to pause for a moment in the debuggin. Bob
