Changed website hosts an no ftp updates in Cumulus 1

Going around in circles here. I have changed the address to the new server, see pic.
Also changed daily.ftp file info see pic.
The filezilla location is, see last pic
My question is, what have I missed or is it a problem with the Host at Netneeds. I am also having problems sending emails but can receive so I would guess it is a host problem.
What do I need from the the Host at Netneeds?

Your directory should be public_html/httpdocs/weather and I would also check that they accept an old style ftp connection as most now only accept a secure ftp connection (FTPS or SFTP). To do that you are going to have to swap to CumulusMX or use an external program in Cumulus 1 as it does not support secure connections.

Error pic doesn't show the public_html/httpdocs/weather.
Other pics show the setup.
Its very strange as I tried to put the weather directory after the public_html and I changed the upload program and internet setting but it still wanted to put the httpdocs in the uploading. Perhaps there is somewhere else that I need to change but couldn't find anywhere.
I ftp with filezilla so I assume it is OK with standard ftp but will check with the Host tomorrow,

All up and running thanks to BCJKiwi.
Mostly due to where the root directory should be. It needed to be \public_html\weather

As one of the few Cumulus1 users left I can confirm I upload to /public_html which appears to the default location unless the user wishes to change it.

Hi Ray,
For me with GoDaddy Cumulus1 (yes I still use that too) is just public_html (no leading nor trailing /) and the same for CumulusMX.
Enjoy,
Paul

@PaulMy, when something just works and gives you all you need I don’t feel the need to change it. HostPresto have been brilliant. No issues whatsoever.

Ray. Can you post images of your Internet configuration along with the files folder please?

Terry,
Here you are. There are extra files I upload and those are added by hand in the Cumulus.ini file.

Hi Ray
It's interesting that you only have auto Update in the Web Settings box. I also have ftp rename and UTF-8 ticked. I'll have to have a play and read the instructions for them.
I'll also have to study your Files uploads. Some of them probably apply for me.
Thanks

Hi Terry,
I haven’t changed any of those settings in years except when Steve ended his hosting and I switched to HostPresto. All I can say is everything works. I should change the forum link as the redirection won’t last forever.

Terry, a quick glance at your website suggests you’ve used Steve’s default template. I modified several of mine which perhaps explains why I upload more files than you.
The only change in the last few years has been the adoption of a new Data Summary page replacing the original. One of the live gauges page requires Silverlight which was withdrawn ages ago. I’ll remove that when I next do some work on it.
