Ftp not requested

Getting the following on my newer RPi with Weewx 3.6.2:

Dec 9 10:45:25 weather2 weewx[26990]: reportengine: Found configuration file /home/weewx/skins/Ftp/skin.conf for report FTP
Dec 9 10:45:25 weather2 weewx[26990]: reportengine: FTP upload not requested. Skipped.

Very puzzled as the details for Ftp in weewx.conf are the same as on the one which is working.

FTP is installed:

pi@weather2:~ $ type ftp
ftp is /usr/bin/ftp

We could possibly help if we knew what was actually in your weewx.conf rather than just taking your word for it!!

Have you, for example, uncommented the lines which require uncommenting in the FTP section of stdReport in weewx.conf??

Here you go - I copied it over from the other RPi which works. The service has been restarted several times since last editing this part of the config. When I was doing it originally I had problems which however created error messages that let me work out what the issue was:

    [[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 = replace with the ftp username
user=xxxx
        #password = replace with the ftp password
passwd=xxxx
        #server = replace with the ftp server name, e.g, www.threefools.org
server=192.168.x.x
        #path = replace with the ftp destination directory (e.g., /weather)
path=xxxx

Try indenting your edited lines for user, passwd and server to the correct indent position under [[FTP]] and see if that helps.

A complete wewx.conf (or the output from running wee_debug) would be better than just posting snippets of files when you are having problems.

I appreciate you have identical setups but when I hear there are two machines involved with supposedly identical configs and one is not working the first thing I think is that they are not identical setups. If it is the 3.6.2 install that is not working do a wee_debug run and post the output (after checking for sensitive info). The beauty of wee_debug is that when run without the --config option it provides a copy of the same weewx.conf used by weewx, no possibility of pulling the wrong file from the wrong location.

It's "password", not "passwd"
