FTP upload to server suddenly stopped

[bgra...@umw.edu]

Hello,

My weewx 4.10.2 with python 3.10.12 seems to be running fine but stopped FTPing files to the server on godaddy.com. I only noticed this today as I usually just look at the local weewx computer. Upload is to grattans.org/wx

I uploaded some files with filezilla today so I'm sure the password hasn't changes.

Below are some sections of the log. I can send more if needed.  Thanks in advance.

Your weewx host is unable to resolve the hostname of the host you are trying to upload to.

Thanks, Vince, I just figured that out by trying to "dig grattans.org" from the weewx server and getting nothing. I had been messing with webmin, making some network changes, and somehow the name server reference wasn't correct. Sorry for the panic and much appreciated for the fast reply.

Cheers,

Bob
