Has the FTP url (tgftp.nws.noaa.gov) changed from where WD gets the NOAA forecast information from? I notice that the data file (nyz067.txt) has not updated since April 8 2021.
I just tested here and it works
i.e after clicking on the test button
this is in the ftplogull.txt
Logging onto FTP server…tgftp.nws.noaa.gov
changing directory to /data/forecasts/zone/ny/
Next file ftp down
Local directory for Noaa download is
Retrieving the NOAA file nyz067.txt now
Saving the NOAA file to C:\wdisplayprogram\nyz067.txt now
Finished ftp download, loggin off from server
Doing abort procedure/program close…
ps, looking at your signature, try unsetting to use large fonts for your windows desktop
Thanks! I found what the issue is. Gremlins again 8O
what was the issue?
Something seems to have changed, perhaps, with the NOAA 5 day forecast download. nyz067.txt. Looking at the FTP log I see an error stating the following.
Saving the NOAA file to C:\wdisplay\webfiles\nyz067.txt now
SIZE nyz067.txt
550 SIZE not allowed in ASCII mode
141: FTP protocol error: 550 SIZE not allowed in ASCII mode

The file never gets downloaded and consequently the 5 Day forecast graphic does not get updated. Any idea what the 550 size is referring to and how to correct it? Thanks!
I think the WD 21 December update addresses this problem?
this is fixed in the latest update, noaa made a change
Thank-you. I will give it a go.
