Need help with change to SFTP

[Steve2Q]

Hello. I am a long time user, but have not had any reason (so far) to update from V3.8.2. In the past few weeks, I have had problems where my files stopped uploading to DreamHost. They found the error on their end, but recommend that I change for FTP to SFTP. I have two questions:

1. Will this affect my Steel Gauges which continue working fine even when the "regular" Weewx files are not uploading?

2. I am a very casual user, so I found that the directions on the Wiki are insufficient to make me comfortable making the change. Can anyone walk me through how to do it?

Thanks, Steve

Steve,

Sorry I cannot help with SFTP, but if you are using the realtime gauge data extension to drive your Steel Series gauges and use the HTTP POST or rsync to transfer gauge-data.txt to you server, the change to SFTP will have no impact on your gauges. The HTTP POST and rsync capabilities used by the realtime gauge data extension is completely independent of any transfers performed by the StdReport service.

Gary..thank you for the reply

 I think I have it sorted out. In my old version of Weewx, I made a few changes in weewx.conf which seems to have worked, and as you said, the Steel Guages are not affected.
