System+Socket+Error

Problem
I receive a "System Socket Error" when uploading files to the internet using Virtual Weather Station's FTP function.

Discussion
The System Socket error comes directly from the windows operating system and is passed to Virtual Weather Station. This error occurs if you can no longer connect to your FTP server (intermittant connection).

Solution
1. Check your internet connection. An intermittant internet connection could be due to issues with your computer, modem, your internet connection, the internet itself or your FTP server. 2. Check disk space requirements on your server. Your hosting service may have limits on disk space or bandwidth. You can contact your hosting service and they can monitor traffic. Images require more space then web pages (text) so the problem may be exposed with image transfer only. 3. There is not much you can do if you receive this error. You are at the mercy of the Internet, which is not 100% reliable. 4. Reboot your computer if the problem persists.
