Hello, I hope it is because of a WIFI connection that is very slow, but when Weewx is FTP the files to the webserver, I see this errors:

make sure weewx ftp client is set to PASSIVE mode if the ftp server is expecting that

It was already set to Passive mode.

passive = 1

On the same host WeeWX is running, can you reach the FTP server with
another program? Can you ping the FTP servers IP address, can you
resolve the FTP servers DNS name (no idea what you have set in your
configuration, so try both).
