Heavy Weather Publisher - FTP'ing image on a LAN

[BSarte]

Hi,

I just installed the LaCrosse WS-2308 and the PC interface is working fine. I want to publish the weather info to my website via Heavy Weather Publisher and do not seem to get it to work on my LAN.

I am trying to do this from one of the workstations (MS WINXP SP2) to the Server (MS WIN2003 Server) which is named "netserver". The websites are on a second drive (D:) and the NT network path is:

\\netsever\netserverdrvd\websites\www.sarte.org

the file name that I want to write to is: MillstoneWeather.jpg

That said, I have FTP enabled on the server with anonymous login allowed with "WRITE" capability.

In the export section of HeavyWeather Publisher I have the server info set to: \\netserver

under file path: \netserverdrvd\websites\www.sarte.org

under file name: MillstoneWeather.jpg

When I activate the image, it does not write the file and the "last status" shows "error"

I call LaCrosse technicla support and they were lost on how to tell me to put the entries into the export section.

Anyone have experience with this?

Using UNC you should be trying to connect to \\servername\sharename

Is the name of the UNC share really "www.sarte.org" and are you supposed to using UNC to move the files. If so, why are you using FTP? I'm thinking for you path you should be putting in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\whatever or whatever your server path is to your files.

If your using FTP to push the file over on your LAN you should be using something like:
ftp://anonymous:password@servername/directory/

I haven't used the product, but I'm thinking you need to revisit how the two machines (client & server) are supposed to communicate with each other.
