CumulusMX and SFTP

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).

CumulusMX and SFTP

Post by sutne »

Lately I have had problems with my FTP-transfer to my web-site. Randomly my realtime-transfers (and others as well) is failing due to

Code: Select all

Timed out trying to read data from the socket stream
Sometimes FileZilla also have these errors.

Since my web-provider recommends to use SFTP (mostly of security reasons), I have tried to use SFTP.
In FileZilla this works without problems.

But I have not managed to make CumulusMX use SFTP. I get the error

Code: Select all

Error connecting sftp - The method or operation is not implemented
I am using the same setup as in FileZilla. Is it something I am missing in cumulus.ini?

Code: Select all

Another user had this problem with the new version of the SFTP component and we never got to cause - viewtopic.php?f=40&t=18751

Do you know which SFTP server software your provider is using?

When Mark asked for testers for sftp (a while ago) my provider would not accept port 22 (fine for ftp). I had to set port 26398 to get it to work.
Don't know if that helps?

Thank you, but my provider specify port 22.
And Filezilla works with port 22.
