Re: [Duplicity-talk] sftp: "File size can't be validated..." warning

[Kenneth Loafman]

Hi,

This should only affect program based backends, not the web based backends, so when programs like lftp, sftp, scp, ssh, rsync, etc. are accessed they do their own validation.

We probably need to discuss the need for such a message.

...Thanks,

...Ken

Hi Nuno,

This is by intention, because other back ends validate the size after transferring a file. This message doesn't mean it is technically not possible, but not implemented in the backend. This is not a change in functionality, but as I touched the code part, I thought we should make users aware of. May be the wording could be more clear.

I am open for suggestions.

Bye
Thomas

Hello all,

Using --progress I'm getting warning bellow.
Curious if this related to sftp backend or sftp server.

Thanks,

Nuno
File size can't be validated, because of missing capabilities of the
backend. Please verify the backup separately.
