Godaddy FTP problem

[Bob Grattan]

Hello,

I have seen this discussed some but am not sure I understand exactly what is going on. I have used Godaddy for at least 10 years with no weewx FTP problems, until now. My weewx.conf contains

[[FTP]]
        skin = Ftp
        secure_ftp = True
        #HTML_ROOT = public_html
        port = 21
        passive = 1
        # If you wish to use FTP, uncomment and fill out the next four lines.
        user = bgrattan
        password = xxxxxxxx
        server = grattans.org
        path = /weewx

They informed me that I need to move to their new hosting system so I have created "new.grattans.org" to move weewx data into before deleting the old and renaming the new one present grattans.org.

By changing the weewx.conf data above to new.grattans.org I am unable to upload from the weewx FTP function. I wonder if anyone can spot what is happening. I am able to use filezilla to move files into the new site but the weewx function no longer works. Not being an expert in this, I'm sure I'm doing something stupid but I don't know what.

Thanks for any help. I'm running Ubuntu 18 and weewx 3.9.1

log in to godaddy, go to hosting, then ftp users. Make sure your FTP user is there and maybe reset the password.

try ftp from the command line and post the results.

Or better yet use rsync!

Thanks, Andy, I’ve wanted to try rsync but wasn’t sure how to set it up with Godaddy. I’ll make an attempt as it seems the better method. Not real sure of myself in this area.
