did you mean "ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au"
on my windows 7 box, I can resolve this but "http://ftp.ftp.bom.gov.au" doesn't work. just "ftp.bom.gov.au" also works.
anyway, whatever the address, what I'm taking from this is that my windows 10 ftp isn't working and if I resolve that my ozweather issue will likely be resolved also.
I identified what appears to be the public ip of the ftp servers at bom as being 134.178.253.145 which I wasn't able to resolve in windows 10. After I added it to my hosts file, i get a general failure error whereas I get a "request timed out" on my win7 machine, so definitely looking like I have a problem in general.
I'll see what I can do with ftp and will post back if I find a solution. I'd also be interested to hear from anyone that has windows 10 ( if they can use ftp/ozweather)
thanks for your help.
