No idea if this is a bug or not but I decided to post this for you to park in your mental multi-story. I closed my weather-pc and webserver down for an hour or so while I replaced my ADSL router. On starting everything up I noticed after a while that no FTP data was getting through. Looking in the diags there were loads of messages similar to this:
uploading realtime.txt to realtime.txt : The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found
To fix it, all I did was end and restart cumulus.
Attached are my MXdiags

Re: An oddity
That's a DNS error (apparently), it was unable to resolve the name of the ftp server for some reason.

Re: An oddity
Sometimes computers mystify me. Why should stopping and restarting fix a DNS resolve problem?? Oh well.
(that was a rhetorical question)

Re: An oddity
Your ISP's DNS servers went down for a period and you were just unlucky?
I always use 2 publically available DNS servers from this list, http://public-dns.tk/nameserver/gb.html.
The chances of 2 different public DNS servers going down at the same time are remote.

Re: An oddity
Possibly the ftp library only does the lookup (or causes the lookup to be done) when it's first called.
