That ps command and commentary they provided is so ridiculously wrong it is unbelievable. Hopefully you're not letting them log into your pi3.
As michael.k said yesterday, your problem is that you have an incorrect setting in the FTP section of your weewx.conf file. If it worked for years and does not work now, it is likely your password on the 'remote' server has changed. You need to edit the correct username/password into weewx.conf and restart weewx and it should work. Simplest test to figure it out is to try to ftp manually from a shell prompt on the pi and verify you have the correct remote host, username, and password. Something changed on your server side if you didn't change anything on the pi.
