Hi! I've been using weewx on a raspberrypi for many years including uploading reports to an account on a cloud provider (1and1.com) to post standard reports on my personal webpage. About 2 weeks ago I started having problems with getting the reports uploaded to the cloud via the weewx FTPgenerator process. Digging through log files, I'm getting "connection refused" errors from the ftpGenerator process. I didn't make any changes to weewx or the raspberrypi to trigger the errors, hence suspect something changed on provider's side.
But the issue is strange and I can't figure it out hence posting here even though I suspect the issue is not weewx related. Since there's lots of smart people here I thought I might get some ideas on how to solve it. Here's some facts: 1. 95% of the products I'm trying to ftp from weewx to the cloud account are not getting through. Mysteriously, a handful here and there do make it through. 2. I upgraded my rPi kernel to 4.19.x and weewx to 4.10.2 and no improvement in the issue. 3. I can manually ftp the products using the command line ftp program supplied with rPi linux with no issues at all. Same if I use sftp or scp. 4. I double checked my credentials in weewx.conf to make sure nothing was wrong with those. But again, the fact that some products get through suggests credentials are not the issue. 3. log files in /var/log (both system.log and messages.log) indicate the weewx ftpGenerator process is failing with a "connection refused" error messages. 4. I can reproduce the error if I manually start a python shell and try to upload the files manually using ftplib in python. I'm using python 2.7 This is telling me something about a new incompatibility between the python library in rPi linux and my cloud provider's FTP server is causing the issue. But I haven't been able to figure it out. So wonder if anyone here has any guesses and ideas.
