WeatherUnderground (WUG) Reverses webcam decision

Unbelievable… What do you think Brian?..They will KEEP webcam functionality…

having them pull the web cam image from a URL works better than trying to FTP the image too them, which is prone to the max users connected issue

Will you not be re-adding the option to WD then?

I didn’t say that
I am just saying that currently the FTP upload is hardly working for people who have turned that back on, lots of reports of ftp errors, max connections, etc,
and so if already have your web cam on a web site then its easier for WU to pull that image via HTTP Get

i.e see the reports of the FTP working no better than it was

I have just switched mine to URL. I had been using WD FTP, but that process has been quite problematic for months now (NOT A WD ISSUE) And their support has been dismal for quite sometime in my opinion. Anyway, thanks again for your insight…

I tried to go back on with my 2 ip cameras that used to work, and well, no dice. I get a ftp server error. well, maybe i won’t go back.

seems that the FTP is working again
so I have re enabled that in the latest .zip update of WD
