STFP not working?

[dnlxh]

Hey, since I updated to 1.3 I'm not able to upload anything to my own server via SFTP.

I already clean installed. (Deinstalled, deleted roaming/Local folder)

That's what I get.

[vdeville]

Same issue.

[vinise]

Same issue! Is it possible to get a link to 1.2 version while fixing this bug? This is really annoying

[olav-st]

Older versions are mirrored here if you need to downgrade: https://sourceforge.net/projects/screencloud/files/

[vinise]

Thanks for this :)

Looking forward having 1.3 working with sftp ! great work until now ocntinue :)

Same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 and older versions don't work :/

[deanpcmad]

Same here on Ubuntu 16.04:

I receive the same problem as @deanpcmad on Fedora 24 (kernel.4.6.6-300.fc24.x86_64).

@olav-st Any kind of ETA on if this fix is something that would come soon (not sure if this is a complicated problem or an easyfix). Just trying to figure out if I should bother downgrading for a while or just waiting for a stable fix.

[vdeville]

For temp fix, if you want: copy Crypto librairie in modules folder of sftp plugin.

[jwflory]

@MyTheValentinus When you say copy the crypto library, what are you talking about, OpenSSL? How did you place this into modules/? I found the location you're referring to (~/.local/share/data/screencloud/ScreenCloud/plugins/sftp/modules/), but I'm not sure what to do here.

[vdeville]

Hello @jflory7, ~/.local/share/screencloud/ScreenCloud/plugins/sftp/modules/Crypto for me and work

[zingmars]

@MyTheValentinus Which crypto library are you referring to? Full name please.

[AmauryCarrade]

I solved this by installing pycrypto from PIP:

sudo pip install pycrypto

and then linking the library in the modules folder, following @MyTheValentinus advice (you may have to change the Crypto directory location according to your system).

cd ~/.local/share/screencloud/ScreenCloud/plugins/sftp/modules
ln -s /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/Crypto/ Crypto

You can also copy the folder, but a symlink will keep the library updated.

[Samaru]

Same. Pretty sure this must just be 1.3 then. I get this on windows. I completely deleted every trace and it still happens. Why haven't they noticed this, there must be LOADS of people using SFTP.

[harkor]

Not working for me, still the same error http://screen.harkor.sexy/Screenshot_09-15-17.png

I don't have Crypto for python 3.5 like AmauryCarrade

I stay on ScreenCloud 1.2 for now...

[vinise]

same for me on windows... not working.
a bit sad 3 month passed and still not fixed 😢

[populov]

One year passed, still not fixed. I have to use v1.2 both on Linux and windows. Maybe someone has fork, where SFTP is fixed?

[zingmars]

@populov Try ShareX on Windows. It's pretty decent.

As for Linux, you can try the temporary fix mentioned in https://github.com/olav-st/screencloud/issues/226#issuecomment-246120108, or by writing a quick bash script to upload using scp and then using selecting it in the upload directory.

[populov]

@zingmars thanks, temporary fix can work for me personally, but I need a same solution for 200 people across several international offices on Mac, Windows and Linux to work with corporate SFTP server. Not all of them are technical. I can create a manual 'Download installer from here and enter your credentials and these parameters there'. And I can set link to download v1.2 instead of v1.3. But I don't want to explain, for example, to new HR or office manager girl, that she must install a missing python package via pip and create symlink in a hidden folder.

ShareX doesn't fit, as it's Windows only, and I didn't find SFTP support there.

[zingmars]

@populov In ShareX, SFTP is an option in the FTP uploader. But yes, it's a Windows-only option.

Another alternative for screencloud would be taking v1.3, manually fixing the problem and then repackaging the app. Then you can either deploy it through whatever deployment system your company has.

[EusebiuOprinoiu]

Any new updates regarding this issue? It's been almost 2 years and SFTP is still broken in the latest version of ScreenCloud.

[zingmars]

Looking at how the last commits were pretty much just the dev deprecating his image hosting site, it's safe to say that this project was abandoned. Your best bet is trying the fix mentioned above or looking for an alternative.

[EusebiuOprinoiu]

That's just sad! This used to be one of my favorite apps.

Hello,

I am using ScreenCloud on Kubuntu 18.04 LTS.

I managed to resolve this issue with ScreenCloud 1.3.0 version.

Navigate to this file :

~/.local/share/screencloud/ScreenCloud/plugins/sftp/modules/paramiko/transport.py

Search for "CTR" and check for this line : return self._cipher_info[name]['class'].new(key, self._cipher_info[name]['mode'], iv, counter)

Replace the parameter "iv" with an empty string as below :

    elif name.endswith("-ctr"):
        # CTR modes, we need a counter
        counter = Counter.new(nbits=self._cipher_info[name]['block-size'] * 8, initial_value=util.inflate_long(iv, True))
        return self._cipher_info[name]['class'].new(key, self._cipher_info[name]['mode'], '', counter)
        #return self._cipher_info[name]['class'].new(key, self._cipher_info[name]['mode'], iv, counter)
    else:
        return self._cipher_info[name]['class'].new(key, self._cipher_info[name]['mode'], iv)

Does anyone know where to find this transport.py file on Windows or any other workaround for this problem?

Thanks

Personally I just use the previous version and disabled update checker, works fine

[pitkes22]

All I have to do to fix this issue was to install ssh2-python with pip install ssh2-python

[leo-mao]

dito, this messed my python env up though
