FTP problems

I have just upgraded to 10.20 and am having problems ftp’ing to my site. When I manually update the website the ftp upload works. Sometimes the schedules upload also works. However recently the majority of times the scheduled FTP upload doesnt work. All the usernames etc for my ftp site (geocities) are correct. I am using a dial up connection. Any thoughts? NOt sure whether it is a software problem or ftp site problem? Paul

Just had a look in the error log and I get the following message:

11004: [11004] Valid name, no data record (check DNS setup)

Does this mean anything to anyone? Please help

Go → View —> FTP Log , then click on “View Full Log” then post the contents here. (after a failed FTP session)

do you have a webcam paul being used with wd?
if so, then try version 10.20b
and check the settings of that

that sort of error points to something like that
but, also, what do you have happening every 30 minutes?
i.e it is that error that is stopping the files from ftp’d to your web site

I am using version 10.20 as I was previously having webcam problems. This has solved the webcam problems.

I have had a look in the FTP log and it doesnt show anything. What ever the problem is it prevents ftp.exe from even starting up. I am not aware of anything that happens every 30 mins. I have set the ftp update to start at 15 mins past the hour and it seems to work at the moment?

Any suggestions?

Paul

I also am experiencing ftp issues with version 10.20B and the new Davis Vantage Pro 2.

I have set up custom times to update and turned that switch on. The problems I am experiencing are inconsistent uploads. Sometimes the solstice/moon data from moondetail1 and moondetail2 appear on my page. Sometimes they do not appear. The sunmoonimage sometimes has the icons and other times does not. The fact that it works sometimes and not others is driving me nuts.

This morning I found the following in the program error log
Resetting wind/temperature daily value , day: 7

Screen Snapshots are attached. ANy ideas would be appreciated.


This would really help.

No firewall blocking any uploads?

I use Zone Alarm but have allowed the ftp process to run by telling Zone Alarm to allow. I don’t think Zone Alarm woulc cause access violation errors. And I do not have a web cam.

seems to be a similiar problem to mine, although my FTP update does appear to be controlled and not random like yours. My error message seems to occur on the hour and half hour and stoips the FTP even starting. The only think I can think of that occurs every 30 mins is the webcam animation update. I am going to try to switch that off (dont use it anyway) to see if that works. Let me know if you solve your problem

I am having more trouble with updates to my web pages. I have the moondetail1 amd 2 set up upload every hour. They have not done an update in almost 5 hours now.

The WeatherLive flash images are showing 11:43 AM and its 90 min past that.

Weather Display is a great program but the inconsistency of web uploads is driving me crazy. The errors are random. Somtimes all is OK but most of the time various images do not appear in the main table. I have checked show times of last update next update but only last reading shows. I have trouble seeing the lunar/solar/solstice images (moondetail 1 and 2). I have troubles iwth icons in the sunmoonimage and in the summary.gif (see tatached with no icon. Sometimes the icon will appear.)

Most of my issues are with the main table. But something is flaky cause the problems I am seeing are inconsistent and appear to be random.

I don’t think Zone Alarm would cause access violation errors either.
Your FTP transfer looks ok to me.

Are the above files in the C:\WDISPLAY2\webfiles directory? If not why is the FTP program trying to upload the files? Are you using the

That time comes from the clientraw.txt file which is FTP ed to your web page. That FTP is probably failing also.
Try double clicking on the ‘Real time Client raw FTP’ icon (yellow blob) in the system tray. Watch it for errors.
I would still like to see a copy if a FTP transfer that fails.

pwilman, email me your settings if you have not already:
go action, back up registry entry now
and then email me the files wdisplay.ini and wdisplayftp.reg from the folder databackup

I am having the same problem. I can do a manual upload, but the automatic hourly FTP has stopped working. V10.20a on Windows 2000.

suggest you check if you have set ftp upload times in custom setup for wxlocal2, wxlocal3 and wxlocal4 without creation times
i assume you are only using wxlocal

I’ve also lost the ability to FTP when I went to version 10.20i. Everything in the FTP settings is the same as it was with the previous version.

I also lost the ability to FTP update my site.

ERROR: Error reading TTSfile.ModeName: The value assigned to the ModeName property is invalid at time/date 6:20:01 PM 20/12/04
that means the weather voice needs resetting: try clicking on reset, under the weather voice setup, in control panel (and that error will be stopping the ftp uploads from occuring)
