I have recently enabled SFTP uploading on weewx pages to a remote server.
By hand, sftp works and I can connect to the remote server correctly.
But weewx complains with the following errors:

```

```

- I am using Weewx 4.9.1 on a RPi
- I have Python 3.7.3
- With FTP I have no errors

This is my weewx config:

```
   [[FTP]]
        skin = Ftp
        enable = True
        
        # FTP'ing the results to a webserver is treated as just another 
report,
        # albeit one with an unusual report generator!
        #
        # If you wish to use FTP, uncomment and fill out the next four 
lines:
        user = ***********
        password = **************
        server = *************
        path = /
        
        # If you wish to upload files from something other than what 
HTML_ROOT
        # is set to above, then reset it here:
        HTML_ROOT = external_html
        
        # Most FTP servers use port 21, but if yours is different, you can
        # change it here
        port = 21
        
        # Set to 1 to use passive mode, zero for active mode:
        passive = 1
        
        # How many times to try to transfer a file before giving up:
        max_tries = 5
        
        # Set to True for a secure FTP (SFTP) connection. Not all servers
        # support this.
        secure_ftp = True
```
