BackWPup ssh failure
-
I am using backwpup to backup my wordpress databases using sftp. My wordpress site is running on an IONOS shared hosting server, which does not provide access to a command line.
When I attempt the backup, it fails. I an running an sftp server on oracle linux and when I look in the /var/log/secure file, which logs ssh errors, I see the following:
Feb 3 12:52:20 left-dell-t110 sshd[4175]: Invalid user user from 141.98.10.47 port 55422

Feb 3 12:52:25 left-dell-t110 sshd[4175]: Disconnected from invalid user user 141.98.10.47 port 55422 [preauth]The host on which wordpress is running is not 141.98.10.47, nor is this the address of the sftp machine. 141.98.10.47:55422 is sending a login request for the user “user”, which seems like an error. There is a mysterious notation when 141.98.10.47 disconnects stipulating “Thank you for playing [preauth]”. I am not sure what “preauth” means.
I have tried using both PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.0 and get the same results.
I have a screenshot of the FTP parameters, but there seems to be no way to attach it to this message
