My suggestion (since it's already broken) is to just stop using FTP. Switch to RSYNC. It is 'much' more stable and 'very much' faster and doesn't have these kinds of mysterious hiccups.
I can ping grattans.org from here in the US but trying to ftp by name 'or' address to it just hangs. My guess is you have a firewall blocking incoming ftp traffic, but you haven't provided any information about your system nor network configuration. It's definitely your os or networking setup, not weewx. On Tuesday, May 12, 2026 at 9:19:02 AM UTC-7 Karen K wrote: > The error message states "timeout". It happens during connection > initiation.
