Can we set up a simple ftp daemon to ftp images directly from a TSI-440 or TSI-880 to pull data files to a remote system instead of buying YESDAQ/DVE?

For security reasons, FTP is not implemented on the TSI-880. However, on the TSI-880 you can use a program or script that issues a http command to get the latest cloud cover data. Also, YESDAQ provides a collection agent (running as a Windows NT service) that retrieves image data from each remote TSI instrument and loads it into the database. A YESDAQ web server then permits browsers anywhere on the Internet to browse data. You can always get at the raw files by right-clicking on the object in the browser. For the large data volume a TSI-880 can produce, ftp technology is too unreliable and prone to router hang-ups. We therefore selected the http protocol which is more robust. If the collection agent encounters loss of network connectivity or other problems it retries and fills in the gaps in data, using the local memory buffer in the TSI-880. YESDAQ does not collect live data from TSI-440s as they have no local processing capability. In summary, YESDAQ lets you get TSI-880 data severa
