Cumulus does not run on SFTP server

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Cumulus does not run on SFTP server

Post by Thunderstorm »

Hello,
I moved my homepage to a new server. This server only processes the SFTP protocol. The Totalcommander or Filezilla don't work. I am now using WinSCP as an FTP uploader. I assume that this is also the reason why my Cumulus web files are no longer uploaded. https://odenwald-wetter.de/ Instrumente/ Or is there another reason? I also installed a program for my webcam that can work with the SFTP protocol. I have added the ftplog.txt. Can anyone help me further? I installed Cumulus MX 3.2.0 b3056.
Best wishes
thunderstorm

The old version of CMX you are running does not support SFTP. You need to update to the latest version, then change the protocol to SFTP in the settings - assuming your hosting service uses the default SFTP port, if not you will have to set that too.

Note that SFTP does not log to the ftplog.txt file as it is not actually FTP!

Hello Marc,
Thank you for the quick answer and the right tip :clap: . After Mx Release 3.4.1 (build3065) everything runs almost as usual. When calling the monthly values ​​thismonth.htm the data from February are displayed. This is strange because the files month.ini and Mrzlog.txt are available. Can you help again please?
Best regards

http://odenwald-wetter.de/cumulus/thismonth.htmThe problem is no longer there. It solved itself. I do not know what happened.
Thanks again for your help.
