Thanks Tom

Yes all the files are in /var/www/html/weewx 

If I understand you correctly, this has more to do with the file path of 
the remote host server.

I am at a loss to understand what is going on at that end.

I upload my webcam pic every five minutes using curl but if I use the same 
credentials on weewx.conf, I get a "login authentication failed" message. 

By setting up a separate ftp account with  a different login but otherwise 
the same , I can at least connect but I either get a message as you have 
seen or a 'broken pipe' message if I play around with the file path.

I guess this is more to do with the remote server than weewx but thanks for 
your advice.

Regards

Richard
