Topic: 3 connections to e-rice.net

[SlowModem]

Sometimes the images I've FTP'd to e-rice don't show up on the webpage.  When I look at the log for the webcam FTP, it says

Could not connect to ftp-server!  FTP Error 530.  Sorry, the maximum number of clients (3) from your host are already connected.

I use YAWCAM to upload and it does wonderfully.  But it looks like only 3 people at a time can look at my site?  Or is it one because the two webcams are FTP'ing periodically?

limit of 3 ftp connections at once from your PC
not 3 people looking at your web cams on wunderground

Thanks, but I have one webcam on one computer FTPing to e-rice, and I have another webcam on another computer FTPing to e-rice.  

I don't have any FTP to WU now.

What package plan do you have at e-rice? I have package 3 and they gave me an IP to use so that I have 5 FTP connections.  Well if you ftp from  2 webcams and FTP  from  WU or from your WX software you've exceeded. I had package 1 and needed more so I went with 3 and upgraded my space to 500MB.

I think e-rice counts connections coming from the IP address -- since you likely have a router connecting you to the internet, it has the one IP address that matters (the local network 192.168.n.n addresses aren't seen outside), so connections from any system on your network all count to e-rice.
