Welll thank you Vince It worked
I did try and ssh-keygen and changed the file name to /var/lib/weewx/.ssh
and it did produce the files but it still didnt work
So I copied and paste from my home/phil/.ssh folder and it worked
So again thank you
Plus I also learnt where the $HOME directory is for user weewx which I most
admit still feels odd but perhaps I can read up on.
