FTP #2 download problem

Hello,

I’m having a problem which may or may not be similar to the FTP download problem reported elsewhere in this forum.

I’m having a problem with W-D fetching the #2 FTP file from NOAA. It’s getting the forecast (the #1 FTP) just fine, but nothing is being transferred for the second task. This was working fine up until a few months ago, and since the #2 FTP is just retrieving special warnings I didn’t notice until now (when I saw my file and the file at NOAA are not the same).

Here’s some output, first from #1 FTP:

220 tgftp.nws.noaa.gov FTP server ready.

Okay, that’s what I expect. Here’s what it’s logging for task #2:

221-Total traffic for this session was 731 bytes in 0 transfers.

Okay, what’s it’s supposed to be fetching is file “txz074.txt” from that directory, which does exist.

I’ve tried deleting the FTP settings in the set up and putting them back, but that doesn’t seem to work either.

Since this worked previously I’m baffled why it’s not working now.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Todd

go to action, back up registry, click on back, then email me the file
wdisplayftp.reg
from the folder databackup

Thanks Brian, I just sent it to [email protected].

Have a good one!

i have fixed the ftp download #2 setup bug
( you will need to reset that file to download)
in a new 9.97h, uploading now
(will be ready in 2 hours)

the bug came about when i started, but didnt finish, adding #3 setup

Thanks Brian, it appears to be downloading the second file now.

I’ll look forward to FTP #3 whenever you feel like adding that. :slight_smile:

Thanks again!
Todd
