+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2011332 +++
Description of problem:
TL;DR: ensure https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/2552 is implemented/backported, as legacy FTP dropbox will be decommissioned in favour of the new SFTP server.
This needs to be fixed or backported in the below RHEL releases:
- 9.0 GA
- 8.6 (GA)
- 8.5.z
- 8.4.z
- 8.2.z
- 7.9.z
- 6.10.z
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
n.a.
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. sosreport --upload --upload-protocol=sftp
1. sosreport --batch --case-id 02732787 --upload
2. sosreport --batch --upload
Actual results:
1. --upload-protocol does not exist
2. and 3. without providing credentials, dropbox anonymous FTP is used
Expected results:
1. option supported, default 'auto' points to uploading to the customer portal if credentials provided, or to the SFTP one if credentials are missing
2. and 3. without providing credentials, SFTP anonymous upload is used
Additional info:
python-pyexpect and python-requests are required for functionality; ideally we should ensure that:
- both are weak dependencies (on RHEL8)
- if either package is missing, the upload to SFTP will properly halt (see e.g. error message "Upload attempt failed: SFTP upload requires python3-pexpect, which is not currently installed")
