Having finally got WDL installed and behaving as required, I find I can only get Clientraw to update every 5 mins using the Customise Internet settings. The realtime ftp is running but not locating the clientraw.txt file which is in the same directory on my c: drive. Here is the log for realtime ftp…
CWD /public_html
250 CWD command successful.
TYPE A
200 Type set to A
146: Please specify a remote file for upload.
File uploaded at time :18:52:14
TYPE A
200 Type set to A
146: Please specify a remote file for upload.
File uploaded at time :18:53:9
and so on…
a manual upload using the NOW button or 5 min setting updates ok.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks for the prompt reply, but timing is not the problem. The problem is not the frequency with which the Raw ftp refreshes but the fact that the WDlive ftp isnt picking up the clientraw.txt file at all, whereas the original WDftp does. I have the two ftps running, the problem may be with where the files are situated, but I have tried moving the files from the Webfiles folder into the main WD folder and vice versa but to no avail.I will try downloading WDlive again in case the install was corrupted.
I have now downloaded and re-installed WDL. The refresh is set to 60 secs and it still wont upload the clientraw.txt file but WD uploads ok every 5 mins. Here is a piece of the log from the FTP…

as you can see, it is running ok except that it cant find clientraw file to upload. I have copied the clientraw file from the webfiles folder into the WD main folder to see if it grabs it from there, but there appears to be no way to tell the FTP program where to find it except for the wdconfig file. I have tried forcing this to look at the default location, but still no go.
I feel like I have tried all possible variations and options. Anyone got any bright ideas?

Success! I have to use the ClientrawFTP2 setting as that specifies the file to upload. Place clientraw.txt in that box and problem is solved. (Doesnt work with the ‘use this ftp instead’ option). I can only assume that there is some conflict with the ClientrawFTP2 and the ‘over-ride’ settings when they are both running. (By the way, I have to use non-passive settings on WD and WDlive as they give ftp conflicts with WXtoIMG weather sat uploadswhen set to passive).
Hope this solution is of some help to others hitting this problem.
