Weewx 5.0.0 b13 ftp error 553 Could not create file.

[Maarten Weerman]

Hi all,

I'm running weewx 5.0.0 build 13 together with Fine Offset WH 3080 and both worked fine until this evening.

The wh3080 is known for having a usb lockup every now and then (can be anything from 3 days to 4 weeks if all goes well) and today it was that time again. So i did what i always do, stopping weewx, resetting the station and starting weewx again. After an hour or so i looked up the data on my website realizing that it is still not updating.

Taking a look on the error log, i noticed that i get an error 553 everytime ftpgenerator wanted to upload a file.

Ftp username, password and server name are correct and i haven't changed anything in the weewx.conf

Any ideas what i can do?

Here's the error log

While you may not have changed anything on the client side, it's quite possible things have changed on the server side. 553 errors are usually server-side. 

Things to try:

1. Double check that you have write permissions on the server for the directories that you will be ftp'ing into. 

2. Try an FTP client, such as filezilla. Does it get the same errors?

3. While using the FTP client, take a note of the FTP server. What type is it? Has it had a recent "upgrade"?

If all else fails, post your [[FTP]] section, taking care to obfuscate any passwords.
