ftp for weathercam pictures? **solved**

[Karl139]

Hi,

I know that the latest picture from MB weathercams can be found at http://content.meteobridge.com/cam/....camplus.jpg, but are the pictures also available via ftp so you can download them to other ftp servers?

Thanks

Johan

FTP function in "Push Services" allows to upload the AirCam picture to your FTP server.
As the weather data annotation is done on the Meteobridge server only, your Meteobridge
client cannot upload the annotated picture (camplus) to your FTP server, just the original picture.

Thanks, works great. I missed that in the manual.

A follow-up question.
Is it also possible to create sequence numbering of the pictures with a file parameter, for example with date and time? Like this:
cam_20131222120500.jpg
cam_20131222120700.jpg
...

Yes, this has been added on November 30 (please see release notes http://www.meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Forum).

To make it rather universal it is based on "strftime" syntax well-known from gnu c, perl, php, etc. Details
are explained here: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strftime.3.html

File name will be "cam_%Y%m%d%H%M%S.jpg" in your case.

Perfect.

Thanks for quick support and a great software.
