meteocam to weathercloud

[alexvanuxem]

Hi all,

There's a new version of weathercloud (v14) where you now can ftp your weathercamera pics.

In MB i have a cam installed as device (ecowitt hp10), but to be able to send the pics to weathercloud I need to ftp to theire server with a user id, and password.

This is the how to https://weathercloud.net/nl/compatibele ... /ftpwebcam

How to do this with MB? in services, events, ftp upload, I can not specify a server, user, or password?

Thanks,
Alex

Hi,

Thanks, but I already entered a FTP service to FTP my personal 'public_html' websites....

Or can I have second, probably not.

Can please elaborate?

thanks

You can have a second FTP service. Access the service tab add FTP then select your event type and put the credentials in the Path as explained in the wiki:

“When you want to upload data to another FTP server, you can use a fully qualified URL-like FTP notation in the "Path" field. Format of the FTP URI has to be: ftp://user:password@host:port/path.”

If I understand you correctly you have a camera sending snapshots to MB and you want to take the snapshots sent to MB and send to weathercloud..you would also need to configure to grab those snapshots from MB so you can send weather cloud.

In MB i have a cam installed as device (), but to be able to send the pics to weathercloud I need to ftp to theire server with a user id, and password.

I'm in the same situation, but it was told to me that ftp on the MB can only be used to transfer data, no jpg 's.
So I also look forward for a solution.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

hi I'm using FTP Cam in the service events, very 5 minutes to ftp://XXXXX:XXXXX@ftp.weathercloud.net:21/webcam.jpg
but the monitor upload status says : 2026-04-06 10:41:12 Error: 2026-04-06 10:40:31 Server hungup immediately after connect. Server hungup immediately after connect. Server hungup immediately after connect. ncftpput: cannot open ftp.weathercloud.net: could not connect to remote host, but can try again. (no more tries):

I have partial succes with a script on my raspiberry pi, where i first download the webcam.jpg from the MB cloud, and then send it to weathercloud.

Works often, but not always.

Maybe the @admin can help?

Cheers
