I tried to FTP a CSV export CSV file to a NAS. Here is the Service Settings:



If I click on the "Test FTP" button, it correctly uploads the test-upload file to the NAS.

Here are the Events:



When Event 2 runs, it generates the 4 files: export_2.txt, lastexport.exp, lastexport.txt and standard-imp-YYYYMMDD-min.txt. All 4 files contain the same correct data. (The Per-Minute Data is enabled).

When Event 3 runs, nothing happens and there is nothing shown on the log file.

What am I doing wrong?

I am not sure what the Path(File) substitute %y-%m-%d is meant to represent? Are you trying to export a file as Year-Month-Day.csv? If so then "y" (lower case) is not a variable for year, "m" (lower) is for minute as one or two digit number, no leading zeros and "d" (lower case) as a single letter is not a variable and "%"?

Try a filename using [YYYY]-[MM]-[DD].csv

The syntax in path is the gnu c "strftime" syntax, which Meteobridge should support. Data/time information is from the point in time when the upload is done. Using the Meteobridge date/time syntax, like "[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]", the creation time of the export data is used. But both will be pretty close when creation of the file directly triggers the upload.

Event #3 is lacking the path information you specified as "test path" on service definition tab. Please try adding this.

I would have thought the FTP is linked to the FTP config Host/User as Test Path: can in effect be blank and just requiring a preceding / (as minimum)before the Path (File): input of the actual event and totally dependent on how the server FTP is configured?

The solution was to include the directory path in the path name. Below is what worked.

Thanks for your help.
