Directory Problems with 2nd FTP Server Upload

I’m having trouble uploading to a 2nd FTP server. In the “General FTP (to ftp non WD files…)” setup page I have #1 Setup writing a file to a remote directory other than root. In #2 Setup I do need to write to the root directory on the ftp server, but WD writes to remote directory set in #1 Setup. I’ve tried adding “/” in the #2 Setup, but it still gives error. See ftplogfull.txt below. I’m using 10.37S build 60.

what shows for the registry setting
in wdisplayftp.ini
[Use 2nd ftp server for grouped]
remote directory2=

All good. That was it. Not sure why the directory entry for the second ftp wasn’t getting updated in the registry, but after I deleted the directory populated from the 1st ftp directory entry, life is good. Thanks! Trying to deal with WU shutting down webcam support and transition to webcam.io and haven’t had to play with ftp settings for years.

Has anyone had success using different upload times on the 2nd FTP server? I’m trying to use the “General FTP Functions” setup to independently send different files at different upload intervals. On server #1 I’m sending high-res image and text locally at 1 min intervals. On server #2 I’m only setting a lower resolution image at 5 min intervals. It appears that when you set #1 or #2 their settings get mixed similar to the problem I faced early with the upload directory.

I think I just answered my own question. I noticed that even though I deselected the Every minute box on the setup sending updates every 5 minutes, the settings were not being saved. I rebooted and tried again. This time it stuck. Something do with the sequence the setup was done, but I now have to independent updates working and uploading different files at different times to different directories and servers on Ver 10.37S60
