Re: [weewx-user] Re: How can the ftp transfer be influenced?

[Ryan Kramer]

if at all possible, use SSH + rsync.  Far better way of transferring and 
much more reliable.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: How can the ftp transfer be influenced?

[Thomas Keffer]

The FTP uploader includes an algorithm to avoid unnecessary uploads. If the
timestamp on the file has not changes since the last upload, it does not
upload the file.

I suspect that your cron job is not "refreshing" the timestamp.

This is what I was looking for, unfortunately this does not work.
At Jan 21 12:19:01 a new version was fetched, but it was not copied to Jan 
21 12:20:26

[weewx-user] Re: How can the ftp transfer be influenced?

[rich T]

Try setting CopyGenerator to copy the file every time you upload.

In the skin.conf file:

[CopyGenerator]

# This section is used by the generator CopyGenerator
# List of files to be copied only the first time the generator runs
copy_once = favicon.ico, images/*, json/index.html, js/index.html, 
js/responsive-menu.js, robots.txt

# List of files to be copied each time the generator runs
copy_always = *.css, status.jpg

[weewx-user] Re: How can the ftp transfer be influenced?

[Geni]

In my opinion there are no errors in the log.

It's about the image uwz.png, this is fetched every 10 minutes around X9. 
But in the attached log it was only transferred once via ftp.

have you run with debug turned on?

the 'fault' could be something happening at the other end - ie weewx may be
