-- In summary, the Secure FTP capability is indicated in weewx.conf (& the caveat comment seems satisfied with testing of Filezilla's success), however in weewx's native install it does not work. -- First I tried the method suggested in weewx.conf and the weewx guide: I enabled ssh/sftp with my provider (one.com), followed their instructions, tested it with filezilla, and I connect and upload/dnload just fine. Here's one.com's instructions on the matter: SSH & SFTP Administration
*SSH* increases the security on your web space by encrypting your web space connections. With SSH enabled, you can transfer files securely via *SFTP* or connect to your web space directly from a terminal. Allow SSH & SFTP access Off On To log in with SSH & SFTP, use this info: Host: ssh.<redacted>.net Username: <redacted>.net Port: 22 Then their faq on the subject has this: Open your SFTP client, and enter the following details, replacing *yourdomain.com* with your own domain: - *Host:* sftp.yourdomain.com - *Username:* yourdomain.com - *Password:* the password you have chosen for SFTP - *Port:* 22 Click the connect button in your client to log in. If it is the first time you login using SFTP on this computer, you need to approve the connection. Note: I have verified that with filezilla, both sftp.mydomain.net and ssh.mydomain.net, using my ssh/sftp password, connect fine. When I make the appropriate changes to weewx.conf, it is unable to connect. I tried a couple variations just to cross-validate disparities in their guide. No connect. SO THEN I google "weewx 3.9.2 sftp" and come up with, among other things, MWall's https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-sftp/blob/master/bin/user/sftp.py to wit: sudo pip install pysftp which results in: pi@RPI3:/home/weewx $ sudo pip install pysftp Downloading/unpacking pysftp Downloading pysftp-0.2.9.tar.gz Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip-build-6MvFgx/pysftp/setup.py) egg_info for package pysftp no previously-included directories found matching 'docs/_build' Downloading/unpacking paramiko>=1.17 (from pysftp) Downloading paramiko-2.7.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (206kB): 206kB downloaded Cleaning up...

Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package pysftp So couldn't get to 1st base this inning. In summary, the Secure FTP capability as indicated in weewx.conf (& the caveat comment seems satisfied with testing of Filezilla's success), in weewx's native install does not work. Not for me. And I believe I've double checked everything. If it requires a hack to package(s) (.py) in weewx I'm comfortable doing that if the instructions are clear, concise, well written. Note, I'm not comfortable writing my own driver. Thank you for helping. Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
