I seem to have a curious situation. I have kept up to date with Weather-Display versions but, for some reason, it has stopped FTPing my web page files. Wunderground still gets updateds every 5 minutes but it just seems to stall out on FTPing to my ISP: http://home.cfl.rr.com/thehowses/sunsetlakesweather.htm
I’ve tried update internet now and it just seems to try and then give up.
Suggestions?
Doug
check under view, ftp log, view full log
and see what it says there
Brian,
You may recall thatI sent you a personal email about this problem several weeks ago. It went away a few days later and has now reappeared the last few days! Using your ftp program every five mins. it will upload Wunder and ARPS, but when it gets to uploading WD it stalls around and finally times out. My current solution is to upload WD every ten minutes and have set the ftp time-out for 6mins. This seems to allow enough time for it to get everything up to my web page! ( it now takes about 5 mins to upload whereas it used to take 0.17 mins.) This is with high speed cable @ 3.5 mbps!
I've checked with my ISP and they say everthing looks good, so I checked my Web Hosting for an overload of mega-bytes and it only showed 2.5% of my maximum. I then checked some of the many versions and they all did the same thing.
One other thing is happening, if WD is uploading and I try to multitask (Check my mail or load a new page in IE), it too is very slow!
I feel the problem is in the "ftp" servers somewhere.
That's the only thing I can come up with logically! Although, my "logic" is always suspect!!!
Ed
I upload every hour, but when I started uploading clientraw.txt every minute suddenly my scheduled web upload stopped working. I can go to Action, Update Internet Now, and it works fine - it just won’t send the hourly scheduled update.
When I go to “Update Internet Now” it gets to the first item to upload and stalls!
Ed
Hi!
For the last 45 mins. or so the ftp seems to have returned close to normal!
Just one stall in that time of 1.20 mins. The rest have been in the .17-.20 mins. for 193733k. So, somebody tell me whats going on!
Ed
I would look at the ftplog.txt file and my firewall log. You could try turning off the firewall and see if that makes a difference. :?
Hi Capt,
Yep, I tried that early on when I talked to my ISP and it didn’t help at all!
Best,
Ed
the internet can get easily bogged down with people downloading music, etc
its not WD’s fault these sort of things you are seeing
also, files getting ftp’d to your web dont go straight from your pc to your IS pc
its the internet
i.e a whole series of interconnected PC’s
if you do a traceroute, you will see the files go all over the place and will go through 5 or so PC’s or more…and so sometimes request/data packets/responses get lost in cyberspace
its just the name of the game, and it happens to other FTP programs as well (i get stalls in WS_FTP all the time)
System info:
Win 2000 Pro, Celeron 900, 512MB RAM, ADSL
I have had trouble with FTP uploads from time to time. I have noticed a few things that may affect this.
The load on the computer I.E. the number of processes running.
The CPU speed and amount of memory.
The frequency of FTP operations, in and out, WD and other programs. All local network activity.
[quote=“CaptDilli”]I have noticed some times WD stops ftping the clientraw.txt file to the web page every few seconds.
Count me out of the “FTP stalls” issue. I think I was having an operator malfunction.
My regular upload stopped when I added clientraw.txt every minute - by setting it on the “Customize Internet file creation and upload” dialog. It was the only file I set there, and apparently that made it the only file that would every be uploaded. Maybe because I set the Override ON? If there’s another way to make clientraw.txt upload every minute I couldn’t find it.
By setting every other file to 1-hour upload on this dialog, I now have them all uploading again.
hi bill
yes, its a very much an override setup
but its a good way to control all the files to update and upload to your website, and i am glad you are using it
Brian,
Disregard the E-Mail. I think I found my problem. My router was acting flakey. I went through and re-initialized it and all seems to be working. I’ll run it for a few days and see how it does.
I have just moved my site to a new web host and i am getting a few stalls in uploads more on the cwd commands than anything else. On my old site the uploads were pretty good not suprising as both ISP and host server are in the same building but now, it is as Brian said, going through several units between ISP on Island and host server in England.
Brian does your ftpupd program have a means to disconnect and reconnect if it stalls automatically without loosing its place in the agenda ie using the log below

as can be seen in this it did not upload anything because the cwd command failed but a disconnect and reconnect at cwd command may have got it going with out shutting ftpupl down or loosing place in agenda, clientrawftp seems to work on these line but is only doing one file, is this a possiblity.

i will try increasing by one minute to start with but i have a feeling that it will still happen, if all is going well 2 to 3 minutes is long enough thats download and upload if i go above 10 i will get overlap problems
