Hi all,

the FTP section is filled in correctly and the test in the webinterface works: A file was created.
But the automated transfer of files via FTP does not work. There is an error in the eventlog:
Jul 9 19:05:22 meteohub-rpi logger: ncftpput: Could not change to directory /var/run/meteohub/uploads/clientraw.txt: server said: Failed to change directory.

The files are correctly in /var/run/meteohub/uploads/clientraw.txt

Could someone give me a hint, please?

Thanks!

//edit: I have just install all available linux-update (apt-get upgrade). But this does not help, too.

The solution was: I have to use a subfolder. There is a bug in ncftpput.
Could you please change the webinterface and the manual: Please give a hint that it is necessarry to use a subfolder?

Thanks for finding out, but to be honest I don't fully understand what you suggest.
Can you please explain a bit more which input in the web interface worked and which did not?

Auf der Seite E-mail und FTP hinterlege ich die FTP-Daten für den automatischen Upload.
Wenn ich unter dem Punkt Inhaltsverzeichnis keinen Ordner eintragen und sozusagen den Root-Ordner nehmen möchte, dann läuft das in einen Fehler. Unter dem Punkt Inhaltsverzeichnis muss daher immer ein Ordner stehen. Für diesen Vorgang wird innerhalb von Meteohub das Tool ncftpput eingesetzt. Das hat eine Fehlfunktion und kann mit einem leeren Ordnerpfad nicht umgehen.
