FTP not connecting -- weewx on a raspberry pi

[Jerry Deibel]

Hello all,

I have a ws1400-ip  that I want to run with weewx on my raspberry pi.

First,  I installed weewx , using ( ./setup.py  as the build)  on my linux (mint) pc  and installed the ObserverIP driver for it.

The driver is 0.5mw, which is the current one.

The weewx.conf setup in the ftp section is..

user = xxxx

password = "xxxxxxxxx"

server = n2uz.net

path = /public_html/myweather

port = 21

passive = 1

As a side note I use FILEZILLA to maintain my web page.

This works on the linux mint 17.1  pc   THE WEB PAGE Is BEING UPDATED.

I then Installed weewx the same way on the raspberry pi 

 ./setup.py as the build

 The driver is the same 0.5mw

 The weewx.conf setup is the same ...        user = xxxx    password = "xxxxxxxxx"   server = n2uz.net    path = /public_html/myweather etc etc...

I can use FILLZILLA on the raspberry pi and CONNECT   to my site (n2uz.net)

Here is the syslog...

 I did enabel SSH to try that and still no go.

Strange that FILEZILLA can connect ok.

Also, before I changed the weewx.conf for FTP.  The local (file:///home/weewx/public_html/index.html)  was updating normally.

Just to clarify something on my original post..

The password = "xxxxxxxxx"  is in double quotes because my web host requires a password with a special character.

Both the linux and PI boxes have the double quotes.

Hi Jerry,

Probably this has nothing to do with your current problem, but I would expect the name of the ftp server start with "ftp." (like: ftp.n2uz.net) and the server path to be "/myweather" and not "/public_html/myweather"

I have seen messages where was stated that a # character in the password caused problems.

Jerry,

You didn't respond in the old thread, but I assume adding the double quotes solved your earlier FTP problem. 

As for this problem, it's probably just some simple oversight. If you're really stuck, you can send me your config file.

Thank you all for responding to my FTP connect problem.

IT IS FIXED and it was the DOUBLE QUOTES on the password that WAS the culprit.

Like I said in my post, FTP worked on my desktop running linux mint 17.1 with Weewx, but not on the Pi  using the same weewx conf file.

The FIX is to use single quotes on the password.

The linux desktop running weewx will ftp with no problems using either single or double quotes ( because of special character in password).

The raspberry pi running weewx will ftp ok with the single quotes on the  password, but FAILS with double quotes.

I am using raspbian op system for the pi.
