Upload via rsync fails

[Jens-Jørgen Kjærgaard]

I have given rsync a try, suggested by tk as a much better option than ftp.

However, I get

Feb 21 17:31:22 raspberrypi weewx[3741] DEBUG weewx.reportengine: Running report 'RSYNC'

Apparently, something is wrong with my permissions - I have the private and public keys in the right place for passwordless ssh - but nevertheless get: Permission denied (password).

The keys have to be set up for the user weewx is configured to run as.  Typically this is 'root' but you have your weewx installed in an unusual place so I'm not certain what exactly your configuration is and if you are don't something else that is unusual.

Though I have my weewx installed in home/jjk/weewx, I am still root, and I can't see that has anything to do with using rsync?

Your questions never provide a full description of your configuration, so we need to ask extra questions.

In your case here, the 'jens...@linux83.unoeuro.com:/public_html/hytte' path STILL looks incorrect.

You are likely getting a permission denied from trying to write to a directory /public_html that is not in your remote home directory

We provided suggestions previously for what to try.

(and please try to not open a new thread for every followup question)
