SFTP "Broken Pipe" error

[Ed Hainsworth]

So overnight my provider changed settings to SFTP. 

They said I would only need to enable SFTP:

the error is due to an update made on our servers due to an attack that was made on our FTP ports all connections will need to be made through FTPS

the port username password and host name are still the same as before but you will need to switch the protocol to FTPS to allow it to connect over TLS

I went into the conf file and enabled the secure ftp to true, now I get a broken pipe error (this is only one of MANY):

May  1 20:02:14 raspberrypi wee_reports[832] ERROR weeutil.ftpupload: Attempt #1. Failed uploading /yearhumin.png to ftp.mydomain.com. Reason: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Running a report I get the following:

$ sudo wee_reports

Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf

Generating for all time

    raise IOError("Unable to create remote directory %s" % remote_dir_path)

OSError: Unable to create remote directory /font

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    except (socket.timeout, socket.gaierror, ftplib.all_errors, IOError) as e:

TypeError: catching classes that do not inherit from BaseException is not allowed

I have gone so far as a fresh install of Buster and weewx 4 on a different card, still getting the error. 

What am I missing?

Thanks

Just to be clear: FTPS and SFTP are different things. WeeWX supports FTPS, but not SFTP. No matter, it looks like your ISP wants FTPS.

Hard to say, but I think you're getting hit by issue #284. Try adding an option secure_data and setting it to false:

[[FTP]]

   ...

   secure_ftp = True

   secure_data = False

See if that helps.
