RPI FTP Upload doesn't work

Hello,

my Meteobridge (RPI 4B 4GB RAM) doesn't want to upload data over FTP anymore. What can I do?
Error Message:

Code: Select all

	FTP-Upload:	
	2023-09-02 09:57:19 Error: 2023-09-02 09:57:02 Could not read reply from control connection -- timed out. ncftpput data.csv: could not send file 
	to remote host. (no more tries): 
Restarting the Meteobridge isn't solving the issue... Installed version on the Meteobridge: Meteobridge 5.5 (Mar 4 2023, build 2924), FW 1.3
To connect with my FTP-Server I have to use FTP over TLS in explicit mode. Everything works fine, if I use my FTP program on Windows to upload and download a file. Suddenly the Meteobridge doesn't like that anymore.

Thanks!

Greetings,
Markus

SFTP is different from FTP. When you configure FTP upload and change the server to accept SFTP only it will not work.

Hello,
I know that SFTP and FTP are completely different from each other. I have to use FTP and not SFTP.
Currently, I am on vacation and definitively changed nothing during the last 8 days. It had been working flawlessly for months before.
I do have remote access to the Meteobridge, but restarts didn't help and as I've said: Testing FTP up- and download from a FTP client in Windows over here was fine.
Is there a way or an idea to solve the issue?

Thank you!

If the problem is still there please send remote credentials to "info@meteobridge.com" so that I can have a look.
