scp/sftp in addition to ftp?

[lrosenman]

Are there plans to support scp / sftp for the website updates in addition to ftp?

I'd like to see this so I don't have to run ftpd on my server......

no

That's unfortunate.

It would be much more secure than password in the clear ftp.

Hi,

I have not tried it with meteohub but with weewx and wview.
You made a local copy of all your files in "/data/myweb/uploads/"

With crontab and rsync you can upload the files with ssh.
this is the weewx crontab example
1,6,11,16,21,26,31,36,41,46,51,56 * * * * /usr/bin/rsync -avze ssh /var/www/weewx/ user@dorado.uberspace.de:/var/www/weewx

In the wview-user-manual (another weather software) you find in chapter 6 the secure file transfer instruction.

yeah, that would work, but I really think that Boris should support it in the SW.
