At the end of the day, we're still back to debugging the interaction
between you and your web hosting service.
It is unlikely, but not impossible, that weewx contributes to the issue.
Debug logs are required, and maybe the logs
again from your hosting service.
As an alternative, do you have another computer/VM you can set up as your
rsync destination to see if that works
cleanly or not? It's possible to set up two "Reports" that use the rsync
skin with different configs, just name them
differently. Like this:
[StdReport]
[[RSYNCa]]
[[RSYNCb]]
Once basic ssh connectivity is set up, the rest of all this shouldn't be so
difficult to make work. For you, debugging outside
of weewx is likely more expedient, since it feels like a you verses web
hosting service issue. You should have the rsync
command lines from the logs when debug is set > 0. Just run those a few
times in a row (try to work around weews's
time slot) and see what results you get.
