SFTP backup set up fails with "Configuration error"

SFTP backup set up fails with “Configuration error” I have tested on two Nethserver installs and both can not connect to the SFTP server. I have tested the SFTP server connection with WinSCP and connect without error. Example config I have been using - SFTP Host - 123.123.123.123 SFTP port - 22 SFTP User - backupuser SFTP password - password SFTP Directory - cloudserverbackup On check receive “Configuration error. Check configuration properties and retry” Has anyone any ideas on w…

SFTP backup fails with username 'user@domain.com'

Hi, I can’t seem to connect to SFTP when a username consists of “user@domain.com” as full username. With all my tested clients and also on the CLI of Nethserver I can login with the credentials just fine, but in Cockpit the login gives me a Configuration error when testing the input. So, to be clear; the SFTP server needs me to login with “user@domain.com”@“domain.com”, but Cockpit doesn’t accept this input. Is this a bug or something else? Thanks. v7.7.1908

SFTP backup fails

NethServer Version: 7.9 I have been using a SFTP backup to another server (an additional simple hosting package from my provider, not a different Nethserver) for a year now.

Nethserver-backup : SFTP connectivity validation fails

Hi there, I tried to connect nethserver-backup to a Hetzner’s robot Storage through SFTP using Cockpit. That failed miserably, with that error message in the system log : exec request failed on channel 0 That cryptic error message lead to that ServerFault page and to the suspicion that there was some kind of validation not supported by Hetzner’s storage system. Digging into cockpit code, I found that line : exec("/usr/libexec/nethserver/api/system-backup/check-sftp {$data['SftpHost']} {…

Some of the issues with the SFTP protocol are reported here.

And an experience of connecting NethServer and a Synology box with some issues.

Synology NAS / Disk Station - rsync Backup

Hi together, I installed an Synology RS819 recently to provide an iSCSI target. I also noticed, that the device offers rsync functionality, obviously, sFTP is employed. By Change: Does anybody use the same / a similar System to run Nethserver backups via sFTP? I do not manage to get the two machines together … What do I need to enter in the Nethserver mask? Simply the IP, user, Password? In fact I do not know how to use the Interface, my Questions are a little stupid, e.g. I managed to get th…

Hoping that these experiences can help you, i would like to suggest to have a test with WinSCP:

• connect
• create a directory
• create a file into the directory
• create a sub-directory into the previous directory

and tell us if something of these operations fails.
