Password failure downloading from LTOW

Post by m0eas »

I can upload my QSOs perfectly but when trying to download, I get user/ password error, consequently the log isnt showing an update on the received status. EQSL works perfectly.

v2.11.0.0

Maybe your user password for the LotW website containing special characters like !"§$%&/()=?` or so ?
That won´t work. Please check also the logfile that was linked in your docx document.

On my end the LotW download is working perfectly ... ;)
73´s .. Juergen ... ALT-512 SDR (10W) , 50 m random wire at SG-211 autotuner, 2 x Xiegu G90 (20W HF TRX) one as portable Radio. Also TS-790E (40 W) for VHF/UHF with X-50 vertical and Duoband 4-Element LPDA.

The error file actually tells you that there is a problem with your user name or password

Upload uses the tqsl program, the download just uses your user name and password, it's two seperate unrelated operations

Even if you can log into the website using that user name and password it does not mean the download will work, because the download does NOT accept special characters in the password as noted by Juergen wheras login on the web does!

Also be aware that it's case sensitive
