Wx sites not being updated

Have been having trouble with uploading of data to my website and APRS, WPS & Wx Underground.
Files going to my website are showing up as zero file size.
The files are being created and if I manually upload with my FTP applicaiton they get there OK.
I have found that sometimes I can get normal operation for a while after a power down restart of my PC but after a while something happens and the updates stop. Have been unable to pin down what application or what ever is causing uploads to stop.
Have tried reverting to an earlier version of Cumulus but this has made no difference.
Cumulus console display not reporting any errors, FTP logging showing Err 425
Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

You're using active FTP mode, and a firewall is preventing inward connections from the ftp server. Try using passive mode.

Thanks Steve, that seems to have fixed website update but APRS, WPS & Wx Underground still not being updated.
Had not made any changes to firewall settings etc that I know of. About the only thing that I can think of is that there was an ad-aware update come through about the time it appears to have started., but have tried operating with that not running and that made no difference.

If you turn on the debug log, any error messages and responses for the http updates (i.e. WU etc) will get logged to the debug.log file.
