I suspect that the main problem may be here : "However on the weewx server when I enter FTP [email protected] <https://groups.google.com/> it only hangs. Filezilla on the weewx server says it can't connect even though it connects from the other computers on the LAN." Are you able to open any web site from the weewx server's browser ? If not, may be you have to look at the network settings of the weewx server.
