Topic: Nexstorm upload error

[Anthony]

If I attempt to use nexstorm to upload the my lightning data I get an ERROR 40 when it attempts to upload the data. Any thoughts? Right now I am letting my weather software (VWS) do the uploading.

Hi Anthony: Error 40 indicates a "FTP SetCurrentDirectory Error" according to the NexStorm manual. It means NexStorm is failing to connect to your server. Check all your ftp settings carefully

Without giving too much away here is what I have. In the ftp  server I have anthonysweather.com, for the user name I have my username & for the password I have the password. I also have passive mode selected which is what I use in VWS. So if I use passive mode the port # doesn' matter.The destination dir is blank as it is in VWS. Export data type is screen shot, interval is 2, file extension is jpg.

Here are my settings:

ftp server: ftp.beamsvillewx.ca

username:*****

password: ****

port 21

passive mode

destination directory: /public_html/lightning/

export data type: alternate

interval: 5 minutes

file extension: dat

Fill in your destination directory, change the export data type, and the file extension, then see what happens.

Thanks for the info. Will give it a try today.
