WS upload on Linux DSLStats 6.5.6
« on: May 21, 2018, 09:53:22 PM »

Trying to get the WS Upload to work on linux (ubuntu)

If I issue the terminal command

sftp -oPort=23 user@FTP_domain_name
I get asked for my password which then allows me access

then I am connected to the server and can browse the directories

in DSLStats if i enter the same credentials I get an error in the event log that states "Unable to log into FTP server"

I specify
Upload URL is the FTP site name
my userid in and password
port is set at 23
SFTP radio button ticked



Any  pointers where I'm going wrong

DSLstats uses curl to implement its FTP/SFTP uploads. I presume curl is installed on your system? Is the location of the curl executable correct?

For SFTP uploads to work, the installed version of curl needs to be built with SSH support. This is the case in Debian, so I imagine that it should also be so in Ubuntu. You could check this by trying to log on using curl. The command is:

Code: [Select]
curl -k "sftp://<FTP site name>:<port number>/" --user "<username>:<password>"
What is the response if you try this?

Good catch thanks

yes issuing the command I get

curl: (1) Protocol "sftp" not supported or disabled in libcurl

I will recompile curl to add sftp support

FYI @Eric

I store the rebuilt curl in usr/local/bin to avoid any updates overwriting it. I then change the location of curl in the DSLStats GUI
However after a reboot of linux and restart DSLstats the location of curl is being set back to the original location

I've fixed it, and it will be in the next release, but there are a couple of other things I've yet to complete. I'm afraid personal circumstances have slowed me down a lot recently.
