Hi @George_Gousios ,

Thanks for the message. I’m pleased to see that you were successful with your resubmission.

Unfortunately our FTP server can be slow at connecting when it is in demand. I recommend that you design code that reattempts connection until successful. Something like:

while True:

        try:

            forecast_array = forecast_submission.AI_WQ_create_empty_dataarray(aiwq_var,chosen_date,wk_lt,teamname,modelname,password)

            print("Success!")

            break

        except Exception as e:

            print(f"Error: {e}. Retrying...")

            time.sleep(5)  # wait a bit before retrying

Thanks,

Josh
