Thanks!
Well I went the IP address route and that actually worked. I've had the device setup for quite some time now, it's just always showed up offline. The terminal script to FTP the image up via the IP address, then when I went back to my Devices page for the first time ever it showed up "Online" and green.
I got excited for a half second then like most here, realized I would most likely be disappointed. Sure enough, I clicked through and it briefly took me to what looked like a 404 error, then flashed to another screen that made it look like it was trying to load the image...and there it hung.
So partial success, thanks for the help! However just seems like they still have issues on their end with the whole setup.
I'm really just trying to find a way to display live weather information and a photo from our Farm. I've found a better route for the weather data via a WordPress plugin for that...I can honestly forget Wunderground at this point. The image I haven't figured out yet. It's actually coming from a Spartan trail cam as the place I need the images from is remote. So four times a day it shoots a pict, sends it via cellular network to me via email...then the script comes into play to upload it. Now I just need to find a better repository for the image so that it updates on the website.
Anywhooo...when I figure that part out, I may just close down my Wunderground account as the data is viewable on Davis' site and not on our website.
Greetings! New to the forum but a Davis Vantage Vue / Wunderground user for a few years.
I'm also trying to FTP an image from our webcam up to Wunderground and getting credentials errors that I know isn't what's really going on. Creds are correct; FTP functionality doesn't seem to be working. That still correct? Not sure why they still advertise it as an option.
Thanks!

Wunderground is really unstable. I have had periods of it working fine and then nothing for days and days. Sometimes the DNS address works; other times, just the IP of one of the three FTP servers works. I think they have some issue with the clustering of their FTP servers or something.
I also noticed it takes a few days for the credentials you got to start working if they do work. I would wait a few days after you get them, then try the DNS name first, webcam.wunderground.com, and if not, one of the IP addresses associated with the name and see if you have better luck. Mine hasn't worked in a week.
