FTP issue with Weather Underground

I am still trying to trouble shoot a problem I am having trying to upload past data to Weather Underground. This is a new install, win10pro, WD 10.387S45. Everything works great, exactly as expected after the upgrade, except one thing. I am unable to upload past date to WU from WD. I remember seeing some posts in another forum (Gladstone list) as well as here on Weather-Watch, but I am unable to locate any that pertain to this exact problem. I try to think logically so these of some of my thoughts.

  1. I may be trying to send a larger file than WU expects and it is rejected by their server
  2. I remember something about WU changing some things in the last few months, could the URL for past data uploads be incorrect
  3. Is something causing a server time out
  4. Has the format of the data packet WU is expecting different from what I’m sending different
  5. and most likely, have I screwed something up on my end.

I would really like to leave the FTP window open during a data upload attempt to WU. Severs will often offer an error code. I am not fast enough to click on the WU icon in the system tray before it closes again. WU FTP logs don’t include WU data. I think this would be useful in determining what is causing my data to be rejected, if indeed, it is even being sent.

Thank you everyone,

I have been away…school holidays…with the wife
And kids
There is a log file for normal data sends
But I will check on the send past data…And see about
Creating a log file for that function
