I have connected my webcam to my iconnect and get a pretty good picture when I log onto Meteohub. I have tried setting it up to upload to my wunderground station through FTP using the settings provided by wunderground but have not been able to upload. Can anyone help with step by step instructions?

what web cam do you use?
Meteohubs feed to weatherunderground does not support transfer of pictures so far.

I am using a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 webcam with excellent results. The picture in meteohub is not washed out as other users have mentioned.
I was trying to upload the picture using the graph upload set to webcam and the weatherunderground server details detailed in the FTP setup. I had hoped that this would work.

WU does also support the other method in picking up the webcam shot from a web-url.
I do not have a webcam attached to my mh, so I do not know where the webcam photo is stored, but if it is created and handled by a meteohub cgi then it shouldn´t be a big deal to have it public on meteohubs myweb url ....

I am pleased to report that the webcam is uploading perfectly now. I didn't need to load to URL as I managed to get the FTP upload working by selecting all the defaults to webcam1 on the Schedule FTP Uploads of Graphs and Data page in Meteohub :o
