New SFTP Backups Not Working

[rlshosting]

Copying backup......Done Unable to scp /home/****/backup-9.22.2013_11-15-04_****.tar.gz gz (please check the host 127.0.0.1 and user root and password)

I keep getting lots of emails. I have the correct data in the SFTP section. What's wrong?

Hello

You mentioned SFTP in the title of the thread, but the error message lists SCP. It looks like you may be having trouble using the "SCP" feature in cPanel when generating a full backup of the account under the "Backup" icon. Have you verified that connections to the remote host are possible? Try accessing your system via SSH and sending a file to the remote server via SCP using the same authentication details. Does it succeed, or fail with the same error message?

Thank you.

Greetings, and I have just tried this for the first time "in my life" even though it has existed in cPanel for some time. This is on a new VPS that was a Hostmonster Shared acct...that they upgraded.

Long story is that on my other main VPS (cpanel-WHM) I have successfully ran the following from it using SSH

scp -P 22 -r /backup/cpbackup/daily xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home/tishllc-daily

Where IP = Destination VPS

Here is my results using cPanel SCP [on new HM vps]

Copying backup......Done
Unable to scp /home/perfectr/backup-10.19.2013_15-08-48_perfectr.tar.gz (please check the host 199.193.xxx.xxx and user lisagt and password)

In which I did create a dir of "steve" [in the root of remote =...not public_html] and I upgraded this acct to handle 40gig...

I am lost~~

And? I got the email sating done..but? I used SSH, ran 'updatedb' and then ==

locate backup-10.19.2013_15-08-48_perfectr.tar.gz


And it did not find a file?

Tried FTP now

This issue, has been resolved at least in my case with the help of Chris via Ticket System

IF? The folder of intended destination folder, does NOT HAVE proper owner ship of the account it will fail.

In my case, I had created the 'destination folder' using WinSCP (which is the same as root). In order to make the folder 'owned by' the proper account.. from SSH run: chown lisagt:lisagt /home/lisagt/steve where lisagt is your account name and steve is the target directory. This worked for FTP, so I suspect it was my SCP issue also.
