hello,

im new in weewx.

i have problems to upload via ftp. my html folder on my webserver is empty.

part of the config

    [[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, uncomment and fill out the next four lines.
        user = USERNAME
        password = PASSWORT
        server = srvXX.sysproserver.de
        #path = /
        path = /var/www/web01/html
        
        # Set to True for a secure FTP (SFTP) 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 = public_html
        
        # Most FTP servers use port 21
        port = 21
        
        # Set to 1 to use passive mode, zero for active mode
        passive = 1

if i connect via FILEZILLA, i have no connection problems.
i had try both path, "/" and "

/var/www/web01/html"

a second question:
the folder /home/weewx/skins/Ftp ist empty, only one 
file skin.conf is there.

1. Please include the logs anyway, preferably with debug=1. There are important clues in there.

2. Yes, this is normal. There is only one file in ./skins/Ftp

Cannot help you on this one. You'll have to wait for one of the te923 driver authors.

'wrong number of bytes' indicate that the weewx driver is out of sync with the station. this happens most often when the driver is establishing communication with the station. however, in this case it looks like something did a reset to the usb.

it *should* clear itself up eventually.

(we need to fix the te923 driver so that it flushes the usb before it tries to initiate any communication with the station. that will make it recover more quickly from usb resets and the times it gets out of sync. i'll have a look at that condition as i do the next round of te923 fixes.)

at any rate, this has nothing to do with ftp.

is this after a reboot of the pi, or is systemd trying to restart weewx? from the few log entries i would guess the former.

did weewx recover after systemd restarted it?

this is a bug in rsyslogd in your version of raspbian.

you need to fix the logging system before we can know what is happening to weewx.

a broken rsyslogd seems to be a common problem on raspberry pis lately. it would help if you could identify exactly which operating system you are using so that others can avoid it. please post the output from 'uname -a' and 'cat /etc/issue'

FTP runs now. it was the a "problem" with the first start. it seems, that

weewx nees some time to readout the ring buffer of my station. (>1hour).

after restart and wait over night, today morning weewx all files are uploaded

thread can be closed

perhaps the admins write a infos in the installation guide, that the first start needs some time.

or, you you add a ftp/rsync test in weewx, to upload a testfile e.g. ./weewx testftp
