Re: [Duplicity-talk] TimeoutError

Hi all together,

told and done....
Now I tried an upload with sftp and got an error: BackendException: ssh 
connection to USER@sftp.hidrive.strato.com:22 failed: [Errno 2] No such 
file or directory: '/root/.ssh/known_hosts'

I couldn't find a file named known_hosts.

At the manpage http://duplicity.us/stable/duplicity.1.html#url-format 
the requirements for ssh paramiko backend (default) are paramiko (SSH2 
for python) and pycrypto (Python Cryptography Toolkit).
So I think to use sftp I have to install these additional components. 
Correct?

Like always 1000 thanks in advance to everybody helping

Vera
