Hi

Do remember that the FTP upload is for the 2D map  only - if you are viewing the 3D map, nothing gets uploaded. The size and shape of the uploaded file is the same as you are viewing at the time (but when you minimise RadarBox, the previous size and shape is used).

Have a look at my page to see what you can expect: http://rodb.gofreeserve.com/RadarBox/RadarBox.htm

It has been known for people to copy the code from my page and adapt it for their own use.

Hope that helps

Rod

Also worth checking the ftp server error log if you have access to it.  What type of ftp server is it?  Some ftp servers cannot cope with the sequence of ftp commands ANRB uses to upload and then RENAME the uploaded file.

Steve

If lou look at my web page, you can copy the HTML code there to help create your own page.

If you need a primer in HTML, there are plenty out there that Google will find for you!

This is the HTML I use for mine at http://www.tarbat.gofreeserve.com/radarbox.htm

I upload to the folder called "shot".  This HTML forces an update every 60 seconds, and works in various browsers (Firefox, IE8, etc.)
