[Duplicity-talk] duplicity scp vs. sftp

[Heiko Baumann]

Hi,

after updating duplicity i noticed that it now uses sftp for all transfers.
i found this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/387218
and the changelog states this:

* 387218     Make scp/ssh into sftp-only backend

http://duplicity.nongnu.org/CHANGELOG

does this mean there is no way to make new duplicity versions to use scp?
or is there something wrong with my command?

i use this line to start backup to a remote host:

PASSPHRASE=mysecret /usr/bin/duplicity -v 5 --num-retries 5 --scp-command
/tmp/duplicity-scp-9882.sh --tempdir /backup/duplicity-tmp/ --archive-dir
/var/cache/duplicity /src/dir scp://address@hidden//dst/dir

/tmp/duplicity-scp-9882.sh is a wrapper shell script which limits bandwidth
depending on up/download speeds. with duplicity 0.5.18 this works great.
but with version 0.6.05 it does not work anymore. and i havent found a way
to limit bandwidth with sftp backend......


thanks for any help
