Downloading and Animating Images through WD

Archive Archived Weather Display Usage Questions

Hi all,

I am in the process of creating my website, and I would love to have a radar loop (from the the Australian BOM). I found the great FAQ written by Martin today, basically explaining how to do this - Downloading & Animating Images .

I have attempted to set it up, but for some reason cannot get WD to save the file into the wdisplay/downloads folder. I have tested it with the URL Martin used in his tutorial, and it works, so it must be something to do with the FTP URL I used.

Can anyone see anything wrong?

What happens when you use this URL instead?

Thanks Kevin, worked a treat. Guess I didn’t think of the plain obvious :wink:

Now for the animation…
