Introduction¶
This module uploads files to (typically) a website via ftp/sftp or
copies files to a local directory (e.g. if you are running pywws on
the your web server). Details of the upload destination are stored in
the file weather.ini
in your data directory. The only way to set
these details is to edit the file. Run pywws.Upload
once to
set the default values, which you can then change. Here is what you’re
likely to find when you edit weather.ini
:
[ftp]
secure = False
directory = public_html/weather/data/
local site = False
password = secret
site = ftp.username.your_isp.co.uk
user = username
These are, I hope, fairly obvious. The local site
option lets you
switch from uploading to a remote site to copying to a local site. If
you set local site = True
then you can delete the secure
,
site
, user
and password
lines.
directory
is the name of a directory in which all the uploaded
files will be put. This will depend on the structure of your web site
and the sort of host you use. Your hosting provider should be able to
tell you what site
and user
details to use. You should have
already chosen a password
.
The secure
option lets you switch from normal ftp to sftp (ftp
over ssh). Some hosting providers offer this as a more secure upload
mechanism, so you should probably use it if available.
