CumulusMX can't upload data to FTP server

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

CumulusMX can't upload data to FTP server

Post by blackie »

Hi.
I have a problem. I want to send data to FTP server, but Cumulus reports an error. I enter the correct host name, port, directory, user name and password. Cumulus sends data to Weather Underground and PWS weather.
What can I do?
I attached the last file in MXdiags.

This error is because you have made an error in your filename. The "prohibited" bit of the filename will be the ":" following "http". It looks as if your filename should be something like "arhivi/realtime.txt"
