Problem with SSH: Could not create directory '/home/user/.ssh

[Peter Östlund]

I have successfully been using SSH in other backup softwares.
But I can't seem to run Qtdsync with SSH to my personal sFTP server
Below is from Qtdsync log.

What am I doing wrong?

I found a similar thread from 2010 in the phpBB forum.

Hi Peter,

first, the problem you have doesn't have anything to do with SSH. Even if there's that error message about "Could not create directory..." and "Failed to add the host..." (which I obviously should care about soon) SSH should work fine.

Since you're talking about an sFTP-Server. You know that QtdSync currently only works with rsync servers?! Does that sFTP server of yours support the rsync protocol? It seems your trying to use QtdSync with an sFTP protocol which will not work, yet.

Greetings,
Thomas
