Welcome to the New Zealand Weather Network

I've been having a few issues with my website uploads, and couldn't figure out what it was. It had been working, and then all of a sudden stopped.

I added an output file on the cron job to log what was happening and got this:

>> + rsync -aPe ssh -i /home/pi/.ssh/idpidata_rsa --include *.txt...

I've been having a few issues with my website uploads, and couldn't figure out what it was. It had been working, and then all of a sudden stopped.

I added an output file on the cron job to log what was happening and got this:

>> + rsync -aPe ssh -i /home/pi/.ssh/idpidata_rsa --include *.txt --include *.htm* --exclude * --exclude */ /home/pi/consolewdfiles/ XXXXXXX@XXXXX.XX.XX:/home/huttwea/public_html/pidata
>> protocol version mismatch -- is your shell clean?
>> (see the rsync man page for an explanation)
>> rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at compat.c(178) [sender=3.1.3]


Some further hunting around lead me to run this line which captures the output of the ssh (shell) connection to the host:

>> ssh XXXXXXX@XXXXX.XX.XX /bin/true > out.dat

When I looked at the out.dat file, it had the following message in it, which indicated what was causing the problem:

>> Shell access is not enabled on your account!
>> If you need shell access please contact support.

To fix it, I enabled shell acces on the account, and now all is good. ;-)
