I have a Logitech Webcam connected to my CameraFTP account via VSS.  How do I go about uploading images to my Weather Underground (WU)?  I am all set-up on the WU end (I have the WU FTP server, password, etc), I just don't know what to do with it.  WU support says " . . . You should be able to begin uploading your images right away. Use the following information to setup your FTP software to upload images to uswebcam.wunderground.com".

CameraFTP VSS software is part of  CameraFTP's Cloud Recording, or Home/Business Monitoring service. With CameraFTP VSS, you can use a PC as a CCTV DVR system. CameraFTP VSS supports webcams and most IP cameras. 

Please note CameraFTP VSS can only support uploading image/video files to CameraFTP.com.You cannot configure it to upload files to Wundergroud.com's FTP server. However, you can use our camera-publishing feature. Log on to www.cameraftp.com, go to My Cameras page, then click the Publishing icon below your camera thumbnail to publish it. You can then use the GetLastCameraImage URL for Wunderground. For more info about camera publishing, please visit:
