I'm not sure if this answers your question, but I don't see why the files listed under copy_once <https://www.weewx.com/docs/5.1/reference/skin-options/copygenerator/?h=#copy_once> can't include an absolute path.
For your second question, it's impossible to say without a log. Set debug=2 (sic), restart weewxd, post the log through the first FTP session. -tk On Thu, Jul 31, 2025 at 12:37 PM 'Peter Fletcher' via weewx-development < [email protected]> wrote: > Also, the attempted FTP of the file to the additional site doesn't seem to > be working, even though weewx is not reporting an error on the FTP. > > On Thursday, July 31, 2025 at 3:19:53 PM UTC-4 Peter Fletcher wrote: > >> Is there a 'built-in' way of copying the latest version of an external >> file (which is actually in a different report output folder but could be >> anywhere else on the system that is running weewx) into a specific report >> output folder at every reporting cycle.
