METAR ftp download stopped working

My website has suddenly stopped updating, and it is because the ftp crashes because of something related to the METAR download.
It was previously working fine and as far as I know I have not changed any settings since it went pear shaped.
This is the error msg I get on the ftplog

Next file FTP metar station download
ERROR: I/O error 103 at time/date 20:30:12 31/08/2007 agenda item:

Doing abort procedure/program close…

My settings that previously worked were for http download every ten minutes (yes I know they probably only update once every 30/1hr) . I have tried to use ftp download and ftp passive download but to no avail.
If I turn the main METAR button off, the data ftp’s up to my website and everything works fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jeremy

ok thanks that has worked.

I don’t show the summary image on my webpage. is it still possible to show the METAR image under this scenario? as currently it does not show even though i can see it loading up to my web page directory.
In the “set icon from downloaded airport metar” tab i have “show metar image on web page” selected and “produce and upload metar images”. nothing else is selected.

on “summary image setup” tab I have “update image but dont show on page” selected.

try adding the html code to show the metar image on your web page to the datahtm0.txt file
I have to go now and so cant help you any more for 36 hours or so
