When you edit a file with vi, which is actually a link to vim, it
creates a backup file in your case .weewx.conf.swp. because it has a dot
in front of the name the best way to see it is by using ls -la
When you save the file and exit vi the .filename.swpis removed, if
however you kill the vi session or exit it any other abnormal way the
.filename.swp file won't be removed.
You have 2 options simply remove the file or if you have some changes in
the file that you want to recover then the best option is to recover the
file which will have all the changes that you made in your last edit.
To recover the last edits use vi -r save the file exit vi and then
remove the .filename.swp file.
Like I said, to avoid this from happening always properly end the vi
session.
Other than that it sounds like you are dealing with permission/ownership
error, in that case check both the original file and the .filename.swp
ownership.
I hope that this helps

I've been attempting to get ftp working this morning and suddenly
when attempting to edit weewx.conf, I get the message below
This is when I am ssh-ing in from my Mac.
When I attempt to edit the file directly on the pi, I cannot save it
Any ideas ?
