How do I make sure that the image that I am FTP to Weather Underground is in a binary format? My pics are not showing up under the webcam pics for my site. I have checked and my FTPtest seems to be send ok and I am receiving confirmation that they have received it. The WU wiki says to make sure that the file is binary. How do I tell if they are receiving it in the proper format??

Be aware that WU's webcam service is as flaky as all get out. Has been for a couple of years. Wait a day or two, and they may appear.
Thanks for the heads up. I have posted to WU for years with no problems but This problem has me wondering. A question to you is are their any other Weather services that can use my weather data.??

Since IBM bought them, they've been on a downward slide. My webcam will update fine for days, then disappear for a day or two, then come back. I see a couple of other locals here have the same issue's.
Make certain the file you are sending is below their file size limits. I don't recall off hand what that size is.
