TK, if you have time I would just like to get your comment on the reply I got from my providers tech support quoted below. They claim a MKD command for an existing directory produces a 550 error, not a 521. If that´s true I assume WeeWX handles that as well. Anyway, the uploads suddenly started to work at 2pm the 27th of Sep without me doing anything at all. I have asked the tech support again if they have any idea on why.
Here is the response from the support ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *We actually got an update from our Technical Team. According to them, the relevant team tried to recheck this and they have even used Pure-FTPd and it's giving the same error message as we do and the old proxy: ```ftp> mkdir somefile 550 Can't create directory: File exists``` The RFC for FTP says the codes mkd can give is MKD 257 500, 501, 502, 421, 530, 550 550 if it failed to create Reference: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc959 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc959> And just to make sure, they have tested it in one of our server which still has the old setup* *-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* As said, just look at this if you have time On Wednesday, September 28, 2022 at 2:09:35 PM UTC+2 tke...@gmail.com wrote: > Glad it ended well! > > On Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 4:45 AM PeterGill <p.gil...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Thanks again TK and again you were right.
