FTP upload stalls when uploading a file (it just sits there)

A common cause of this issue is the need to use Passive mode with the FTP connection. to

turn on Passive mode, do the following:

1. €On the Weather Display main window, click Control Panel.

1. €On the Control panel, under Web site configurations, click

FTP/internet/metar/e-mail/report/connections Setup Client/Server Setup.

1. €On the Connections tab, select the Use Passive mode check box.

Also, not all FTP servers support the file rename option (mainly Windows-based servers), so

you might turn off the rename feature. To turn off the rename feature, do the following:

1. €On the Weather Display main window, click Control Panel.

1. €On the Control panel, under Web site configurations, click

FTP/internet/metar/e-mail/report/connections Setup Client/Server Setup.

1. €On the Connections tab, clear the Rename the file on the server after uploading

check box.

The FTP log should provide you with error messages and allow you to see exactly where the

FTP failure is occurring. To review the FTP log, do the following:

1. €On the Weather Display main window, click View.

The rainfall totals do not match my weather station

Weather Display keeps its rain totals separate from the weather station , which makes it

more flexible for rain reset times, rain reset month, etc.

To set the starting values, use control panel, barometer offset, other offsets, initial rainfall

totals. Once you set the amount in the manual input (e.g enter 55.5 for mm, or 2.5 for

inches (if inches is ticked), then click on set then click on yes to save the values. An

alternative is to select the value from the slider (click and it will show the equivalent in

inches).
