SFTP on WeeWX

[Chema S.]

Hi

I have tried to  configure https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-sftp on WeeWX 3.9.1 but I am not able to make it work as it is supposed to. Nothing happens. Does anyone with similar problem? 

If someone have had success with this configuration I would like to know how achieved it with a step-by-step guide. 

thank you.

Hi,

Looks like an invalid path may have been specified. A bit more log will help. Can you edit weewx.conf, set debug = 1, save weewx.conf and then restart WeeWX. Let WeeWX run for at least 10 minutes and then post the log from when you restarted WeeWX covering the full 10 minutes; don’t truncate the start of the log, this shows a lot of config info. Would also help to see your [[SFTP]] stanza under [StdReport] in weewx.conf. Just make sure you remove any passwords or other sensitive info before posting.

Hi

thanks for your help.I was finally able to communicate two nodes with SFTP. I was trying many solutions, but finally I found what suit my needs. I decided to start from scratch. After a trial and error process I found the solution that really suit my needs:

sudo apt-get install python-pip
pip install --user -U setuptools
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev #this package did not appears when first installation was made.
sudo pip install pysftp
