Turn on the ftp logging; it produces an ftplog.txt file which may help.

Is this doing manual updates or automatic updates?
I think the best thing to do is
1. turn off automatic updates
2. restart Cumulus
3. turn on ftp logging
4. attempt one manual update
5. upload ftplog.txt

Well, I'm baffled by that, I really don't know what to suggest. You definitely have the correct details configured on the internet settings screen?
You could turn on the debug log and see what that says. Note that it only gets flushed to disc every five minutes, and may contain passwords.

I've changed the logging in the latest beta to log the connect error code; I hadn't bothered previously as I'd assumed the ftp log would be more useful.
http://www.nybbles.co.uk/downloads/beta ... sSetup.exe
It should log the error code to the error window (click on the error LED) and the debug log. It may help the diagnosis. Maybe not.

DNS lookup failure. I did wonder if that might be the problem.
What is the name of your ftp server?

You've definitely put the server name into Cumulus correctly?
If you can't work out what the problem is, you could use the IP address instead as a work around.

damned
could someone please kick my butt so i wake up!!!
This error generally indicates that the specified FTP server name is incorrect or not specified. Try entering the hostname or IP address, not a URL (e.g. if
ftp://server.domain.com/ is entered, then change it to server.domain.com).
all that for a misplaced dot
sorry steve for your brainache
