checked weather FTP access

Here we go again. The weather station images are not updating.

The time stamp for the snapshot "Current Data" images is from 6:58 AM. Outside Temp image shows -8.7.

Logged into the server. So, the internet connection is working. Checked the WeatherLink application. Weather bulletin displayed. No obvious errors. Seemed to be the current data (wind speed issue aside), for example, the outside temperature was showing at -15. Shutdown the app, waited a moment, launched it, opened the bulletin. No errors. Seems the software (and USB) connection is OK.

Terminated the remote session. And waited... Moments later. Nothing. No updates. What the hell is going on?! Something wrong with the FTP?

Went back in. Tried a PING. OK. A little slow.

Connected to the Control Panel for the host. Jumped into the weather directory. Found the time stamps are noted as 6:53 AM. So, the files have not uploaded...

On the remote machine, via the CLI, tried to FTP into the host. Connected OK but then on issuing a dir command, I was kicked. Noticed after the log-in, the message "Current restricted directory is /." Huh?

Reconnected, checked the pwd. OK. Tried an ls; kicked again.

Ha! Just saw the weather app upload the images! Funny timing... Working again. Images time stamped 6:28. Outside Temp image shows -15.5.

Weird. Why was the FTP not working all day? Why did it not respond correctly when I tried a direct log-in?
