CUMULUS MX FTP UPLOAD

[Polin79]

Hi All,
I'd like to upload the realtime.txt CumulusMX file on a FTP server in order to use the Android App Cumulus Realtime Meteo Monitor https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... eo.cumulus which requests the URL of the realtime.txt file.
Could you kindly instruct me how to:

- Setup CumulusMX tu upload the realtime.txt file on a FTP server?
- Do you have suggestions for free FTP servers?

Thanks
Paolo

In Cumulus MX Internet settings I have activated FTP upload, but in my FTP server I find only .json files and not the realtime.txt file uploaded. Could you kindly instruct me how to upload the realtime.txt file via FTP? Thanks

Hi,
If you have correctly entered the Internet settings, including Real time interval settings and Upload the files, the \CumulusMX\realtime.txt and \CumulusMX\web\realtimegaugesT.txt will be uploaded to your remote directory at your realtime interval.

Enjoy,
Paul

Hi Paul,
For real time files I have Internet settings as per the attached file

Thanks

I don't understand why if I select .json files in Internet Settings they are regularly uploaded to FTP, but not realtime .txt files. The latest settings are attached. Now I set the real time interval to 300 seconds which is equivalent to the ftp upload interval of 5 minutes, but nothing on the ftp server....

Thanks
Paolo

Would be helpful to see your FTP settings (make sure you blank out the password).

I have done many tests and all the 30 .json files are regularly uploaded on the FTP server, but not the realtime .txt files and I don't understand why

Hi,
Could you enable FTP logging in Program settings. and then after a few upload interval cycles check what is being logged for your uploads.
Could you also provide a link where your standard .json files are being uploaded.
Enjoy,
Paul

Hi Paul,
In attachment the ftp logs: I'm seeing that there are inception errors...
The link where standard .json files are uploaded is https://meteopolin79.netsons.org//publi ... /CumulusMX

Many thanks

Hi,
Unfortunately that link doesn't work for me (doesn't look right) and gives a 404 Not Found message.

The FTP log has many errors...

Are you sure you have the correct settings in Remote FTP Directory: /public_ftp/incoming/CumulusMX
In some hostings there would be no slash (/) and also public_html rather than public_ftp, but each hosting may do things differently.

Enjoy,
Paul
