How to FTP camplus.jpg to WU

Hi all,

This is my webcam image with overlays, processed by Meteobridge Weather Camera in the Weather Network tab: -

http://content.meteobridge.com/cam/ff27 ... amplus.jpg

And this is the image uploaded from Weather Underground Camera in the same tab: -

http://www.wessexweather.net/iegeek/web ... mimage.jpg

How can I upload the camplus.jpg with all the overlays to WU rather than the unprocessed image that Meteobridge uploads? Could a php or shell script be used to be run by a cron job every 5 minutes, which gets the camplus.jpg, renames it to image.jpg and sends it to WU with the required credentials (username,password,webcam.wunderground.com)?

I have managed to run a php script every 5 minutes that saves the camplus.jpg as image.jpg to my server every 5 minutes, but have been stumped from here. Uploading this from my server every 5 minutes with FTP, or automating the whole get/rename/upload process as above, is what I would like to achieve.

FTP seems to be the way to go. Asking WU to retrieve the images from a URL no longer seems to work.

Thanks in advance,

Meteobridge server does compute the overlays. Therefore, the camplus image is on the server and cannot be uploaded by the Meteobridge client as it does not have it.
