I have a pc with one gig of memory and a 1.8 processor. I am running windows xp. I am also running yawcam Webcam capturing an image every 5 mins.
when I try to run a batch file to ftp a very small wxsim forecast file it takes forever.
is there another way to get the file automatically to my server?
-
You could use Fling to do that.

The choice of SW should not matter; something else is going on.
-
that's what I thought.
it works on my laptop on the same network which may tell us something.
the pc struggles for memory . could it be this?
if so is there an alternative apart from from getting more memory or changing machines?
-
Short of getting more memory, you might be able to stop Yawcam, FTP and then restart. You should look at Task Manager to see who is using the memory/processor. Or try a lighter weight FTP like http://winscp.net/eng/download.php

that sounds do able.
when you say light weight ftp, how do you know what is and what isn't? I will try your suggestions when I return on Monday but what do you look for for a lightweight ftp?
-
just realised that the weather link software has an upload facility. I will check that out also on Monday.
