Why isn't sftp uploading? **solved**

[lrosenman]

Looks like on or about 22/Jan/2018, MeteoBridge stopped uploading via sFTP.
Why?
A reboot had the FTP start again, but I'd prefer sFTP. Did that get broken?

[admin]

"no upload" tells that the service has not been started. Can you please share a screen dump of the services page, where the FTP/SFTP service is defined?

[lrosenman]

I've reverted to ftp for now. I'll try (re)-setting up sftp tonight and post (and see if things change).

That said, it had been working fine since the addition of sftp, but on January 22, 2018 at 20:05 US/CST(UTC-6) was the last upload through multiple upgrade reboots.

Here ya go.

Service #6 is defined as SFTP but it has a legacy FTP upload command in it "ftp://...". That does not fit. If it is selected as SFTP then it needs a SFTP fitting destination defined in Path field and vice versa. Did you try replacing "ftp://" by "sftp://"? You should also be able to strip the "ftp://" header, then the protocol is selected by the defined service.

Service #7 looks fine for legacy FTP execution.

I removed the ftp://un:pw@host, and it still shows no upload.

Sorry, I don't understand the " ftp://un:pw@host" removal remark.

Which service definition do you speak of? #6 or #7 and what exactly did you change?

[lrosenman]

I removed (on #6) the ftp://username:password@hostname.domain:21/.

When you remove all SFTP services from "Services" tab then "Live Data" tab is also expected to no longer show an SFTP entry. I checked with my system and it works es expected. Please double check.

[lrosenman]

I re-added it, and I removed (per your suggestion) the ftp://user:pass@host:port/ and left the /path/file portion.

The live data tab shows sftp no upload.

[admin]

hm... looks like I can just get a grip on this via remote login. If you like to give me a remote login please send credentials to "info(at)meteobridge.com".

[lrosenman]

Done.

[admin]

Can login. When I deselect SFTP service on "services" tab and press "save" and then switch over to "Live Data" tab the SFTP entry has vanished, as expected.

I am a bit lost why this did not work when you tried or may be I did not get your point.

[lrosenman]

My concern is why doesn't SFTP work.

I'm using FTP as the backup.

Your results match mine. I'd prefer to turn off my ftp daemon on the receiving host.

[admin]

I found a bug in there. Just fixed it.

Currently this setting seems to upload fine now.
