Re: [Duplicity-talk] no sftp support on the server: what to do?

[Z F]

Hello Chris

I will check for rsync service. It might be there.

Not sure if it is enough though... Somewhere in the manual I read that sftp is essential for duplicity operation. Anyway, I will check out the rsync/ssh option.

Thanks for the suggestion

Would using the rsync backend work?

I know I use the rsync backend to a server, using an ssh key, and it
works flawlessly. I don't know if it's actually dropping down to scp
and using that binary to do the transfer though, or using its own
transfer protocol though ssh somehow..
