Trouble Uploading NOAA Reports

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

It was in this reply: viewtopic.php?p=161314#p161314

Although the target directory back then was "Reports" but has since changed to the all-lowercase "reports".

Yes I tick I did tick Process.

So this is the Current set-up

Test Weather Server is a PC Running CumulusMX from a Folder on the Desktop
The Weather Website Test is a Raspberry Pi running NGINX the Path on the Raspberry Pi is /var/www/html

When I've been doing the FTP I've been using the full path above, and originally I had it set to go to /reports for the NOAA
(which is how I have it on my Live System)

The Live System is
CumulusMX running on a Raspberry Pi Uploading to my WebHosts IONIS or what ever they are called now used to be 1&1

I just can't work out if it's saying it can't find the file to upload, or it can't upload as it can't find the remote directory.

As PauMy suggested the Extra File Processing worked, it's just not doing the Auto Update (I've never had an issue before on my Live Set-up) but then that's on a Raspberry Pi not a PC

It is finding the file to upload OK. The first thing the upload function does is check if the source file exists, if not it will output an error message to that effect - "Error! Local file not found, aborting upload: {localfile}"

Thanks,

I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong then.
It all works on the Pi, just not on the PC.

I'll see what it does tonight again.

Well.

NOAA Reports worked last night.
All uploaded OK.

The file has been set up on MX with the full pathname
/var/www/html/reports

Still not sure why I need this on here but it works anyway.

I can now carry on breaking other bits.

I did have the same issue when I changed to SFTP.
Full path is needed for Web/FTP Site Remote FTP Directory and NOAA FTP folder-
