FTP not uploading

Post by cc_rider »

Hello,
I have just setup a webcam with the yawcam software. It is creating a file series called image00.jpg - image96.jpg. As indicated in yawcam dox, image00.jpg is always the newest file created, which is perfect. :D I have these created at 15 minute intervals. It appears that yawcam does not resolve the filename properly and I get a FTP Error: 553 Prohibited file name: c:\cumulus\webcam error. Hmmmmm.

Now on to the Cumulus problem..
I have configured Cumulus to upload only a single file: c:\cumulus\webcam\image00.jpg (created by yawcam)
Other options ticked are: binary? and FTP?. No other files are to be uploaded, so the include standard files/images, solar/uv/sunshine options are UN-checked.

FTP logging is on. The session is established, but it appears no attempt is made to upload a file. (The file does exist!) No ftp errors are encountered. The ftp popup window shows a logging in and a logging off entry.

Any suggestions?

Here is part of my log:

The only reasons that I can see where it wouldn't even attempt to upload the file would be if either the local file didn't exist at the time of the upload, or the remote file had been left blank. Unfortunately it doesn't log anything to say why it's ignoring the file. If you think that neither of those apply, I would have to put some extra logging in to see why it's being ignored.
