Hi,

I have not used Weewx for some time and installed it again on a Ubuntu 14 Laptop.

I can collect the data from my Klimalogg pro and the files are stored correctly.

Only the FTP transfer is not working to my server at ONE.com

I have other programs written in Python that can upload files correctly to the server.

My weewx.conf file, FTP part:

[[kl]]
skin = kl
HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx/kl

[[FTP]]
# FTP'ing the results to a webserver is treated as just another report,
# albeit one with an unusual report generator!
skin = Ftp

# If you wish to use FTP, set "enable" to "true", then
# fill out the next four lines.
# Use quotes around passwords to guard against parsing errors.
enable = true
user = smeds.eu
password = "**********"
server = ftp.smeds.eu # The ftp server name, e.g, www.myserver.org
path = /new # The destination directory, e.g., /weather

# Set to True for an FTP over TLS (FTPS) connection. Not all servers
# support this.
secure_ftp = False

# To upload files from something other than what HTML_ROOT is set
# to above, specify a different HTML_ROOT here.
#HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx

# Most FTP servers use port 21
port = 21

# Set to 1 to use passive mode, zero for active mode
passive = 1

Part of the log looks like this with debug on:

==> error_perm: 550 Requested action not taken. File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).

From your weewx.com I see 'path = /new' which I suspect is not correct. Try connecting manually to your site via ftp and typing pwd to see what the actual pathname it uses on the server side.

I have tried with other paths e.g. thamn that exists on the server without success. I thought that if I declare a new path called "new" it would be generated automaticly. At smeds.eu/thamn I have an old upload from 11 of June 2023. The directory new has not been generated on the server. Checked with WINscp

log in via ftp using your username and password

type 'pwd'

that will tell you their current path

It is not generally a good assumption to make that anything is generated automatically. My 'guess' is that you are trying to write to a directory that does not exist.

I get after pwd:

/customers/0/1/3/smeds,eu/httpd.www

So try that as your path and see if it works

Great! vince, that solved my problem. I added thamn to the path . New path : /customers/0/1/3/smeds.eu/httpd.www/thamn . I now see my Klimalogg pro temperatures at smeds.eu/thamn/kl

It must be that ONE.com has changed their servers since it worked before with just /thamn as path.

Thanks again for your support.
