[Duplicity-talk] Alternate Port Problem

[Jon]

Hi All,

I've searched the archives and found only one post dealing with
alternate ports and it didn't seem to contain the info I am looking for.

For months now I have been using duplicity/scp to perform archive
deletion like so:

/usr/bin/duplicity remove-older-than 14D --force scp://address@hidden/backup

I want to move my backups to another server now and the new server has
SSH running on port 2222 rather than 22. I have attempted various
incarnations of:

/usr/bin/duplicity remove-older-than 14D --force
scp://address@hidden:2222//backup

But it fails with this error (on -v9):

Main action: remove-old
Running 'sftp  -oPort=2222 address@hidden:2222' (attempt #1)
State = sftp, Before = 'Connecting to server...
RSA host key for IP address '208.100.7.145' not in list of known hosts.
Couldn't stat remote file:'
Remote file or directory '/backup' does not exist

The /backup directory does exist:

sh address@hidden -p2222  ls -dal /backup
RSA host key for IP address '208.100.7.145' not in list of known hosts.
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 27 10:00 /backup

And my user in this case is root so I know I have perms for it.

Can someone shed some light for me on where I am going wrong?

Thanks,

Jon
