Sitesync SFTP

I know that a lots of people asked about it but i still couldnt find the solution for my type of problem…

Ok, 1st i have to be honest the docs on this subject is very bad almost unusable and my advice is to make more video tutorials with all the steps needed to complete the proper sftp setup, anyway, here is a my problem

So the project made on a “server” computer and on that main computer sftp server is running, filezilla works fine no issues there but when an artist tries to set the working env to local/sftp its not working at all, no files can be sync or published local->sftp
So like i said any help would be appreciated, let me know what info you need and i will make a screen shots of the settings from ayon panel

Thanks



This post How to configure Site Sync? mentions

Does setting Alternative site work for you? It seems missing on your settings.
It was also mentioned in some post that it didn’t work without setting up alternative site.

What should i set for the alternative sites?

Thing is there is “no connection” with a “studio”, only sftp (where is a clone of project)

thing is, lets say you are an artists and you dont have an access to studio files only to alternative sites, in this case sftp, and files are copied to sftp location by hand, will that work or ayon should do a copy/clone studio->sftp?

so question is more/less can i do copy/clone by hand project to a different location and point sftp to that location so artists can see them/use them via ayon?

i just tried something else, as an test…

i set my self to local/studio and i set the studio file on another (local drive) complete project and its kind of working, but when i click on loader and try to download file from studio->local am getting an error

he is trying to copy from source to remote??? and i set to do the other way around

so you have [artist] ↔ [sftp] ↔ [studio]

I don’t believe this can work. AYON can handle [artist] ↔ [sftp|studio] - where sftp and studio doesn’t need to sync because they are accessing the same data, only artist is syncing via sftp to sftp site in studio.

no no im not gonna use the artist<->sftp<->studio, in this case like you wrote am testing only the artist<->sftp(studio) communication

just a small update i was able to make sftp work, but am facing now a new challenges :slight_smile: with sftp port, for some reason the ayon wont connect to sftp computer if the port is not 22?
at the moment sftp port is 2222 and am getting an error in console

paramiko.ssh_exception.SSHException: Unable to connect to 192.168.1.129: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

filezilla works flawlessly

Open firewall ports!
Otherwise connection will be refused.

no firewall no any port limitations, tried with filezilla works fine, from multiple locations…
