FTP to wunderground problem

Sat Sep 03, 2016 4:20 pm

I'm using a Rp3b (raspbian) to send pictures to weather underground every few minutes. It has been working great for a few weeks but stopped a few days ago. When I run the bash script that sends the image (via ftp to HOST='webcam.wunderground.com' I get this in the log file:

ftp: connect to address 54.148.11.124: connection timed out

Any ideas what the problem is?

check your network is working with the following commands

ip addr
ip route
ping -c3 $(ip route | awk '/default/ {print $3}')
ping -c3 8.8.8.8
ping -c3 webcam.wunderground.com
ping -c3 54.148.11.124
cat /etc/resolv.conf


When I try that it appears that the ftp server at 54.148.11.124 is dead and not responding.

Thank you Sir!
I guess it's WU's goofy website.
