The best thing to do is use the SD card copy utility supplied by the Pi O/S to create a clone of your operational SD card.  If things go awry, put the clone in, reboot, and you are back the way you were.

That said, the changes you are considering are unlikely to break anything.

Tom and Paul: thank you both. I will give it a shot, but I am a bit wary as to what to do if it breaks my install. Guess the best thing to do is a backup of all the weewx files and directories first.

Did you install Matthew's sftp extension?


You'll also need pysftp, which you install with pip.

I have used sftp with the above for years.  Most hosting sites are moving away from ftp for security reasons.

Hello. I am having problems (again) trying to use ftp with DreamHost. They recommend changing to sftp, so I changed weewx conf to make   secure_ftp = True. I am using Weewx V 3.8.2

Apparently, just making secure_ftp = True is not working. Should I try using weewx-sftp and will it work with 3.8.2?

 Thanks
