File not found loop in FTPUPD.exe

Greetings. After many hours, I can’t think of any more ideas on how to resolve this problem. Thanks for looking and your help.
I am working on my father in laws machine (wb1fye), I am Jason n1iic.

He had 10.16, and it uploads every 5 minutes. The upload times ending in 5 work great, this is when the “FTP file upload” and the APRS data runs.
The uploads on the tens have a problem. When ftpupd does its thing it handles the APRS and email fine, but when trying to process the “2nd server grouped upload #2”, it goes into a “file not found” infinite loop into and it does not close.
If the upload all now button is pressed in the FTP/Internet Setup> Web files Upload times, it handles “APRS data sending now…” and “FTP upload of files”, but when it gets to “2nd server grouped upload #2” it loops into “there are 1 more things to do” and FTPUPD locks up.

I tried to disable all to do with anything other than the server settings in FTP/internet setup>Connections with no luck.
I confirmed all the files in ‘Customize internet file creation and upload> Internet File Settings’ with the webfiles directory, and they are there. The override is off, but I thought this might give a reference to what the program is looking for.
I then backed up and viewed the registry entries for WD and found that the files for the 2nd server had a double slash- “c:\weatherdisplay\webfiles.…”. I made them single slashes, restored the reg file with no luck.
I could not get the ftp server information to clear in ‘Customize internet file creation and upload> Internet File Settings’ if I cleared the data from the fields. I had to manually clear it from the registry. Guess what? Still no luck. =]
I installed 10.18d with no new results other than the new program.

I couldn’t find any help in the FAQ or the forums, so I hop someone can shed some light on this.

Thanks

Jason

Are you using the feature pictured below? And is the FTP site the same as your main FTP site?


hi
go action, back up registry entry now, then email me the files, wdisplay.ini and wdisplayftp.reg, from the folder databack (which is a sub folder of where wd is installed)
(or wdisplay.ini from c:\windows or c:\winnt if its not in the databack up folder (depends on what vers of wd))

carterlake, no the ftp server is set up in the connections tab. Would it be better putting it here?
Windy, I will get those to you.
My father in law also got an email from findu.com that the FTP sessions weren’t closing and causing a problem.

findu.com
thats the aprs
and its not acutaly ftp
but it is done by the ftpupd.exe program
which version of WD is he using, as i have improved something with the socket closing with the aprs
also, the aprs has been having big problems

Windy, I just upddated him to 10.18j, and the prob still exists. I am sending you the files.
