MW is receiving the TEMP bulletins in old TAC format from this machine:

192.168.151.77 - upperair [03/Apr/2023:14:14:03 +0200] "PUT /mwdb/MovingWeather-var/channel/ftp_users/upperair/WWPILOT.TXT" 200 1201

BUFR bulletins can be generated and uploaded to MW as well.

So please check that machine (192.168.151.77) and try to find out how the file is uploaded to MW.

I can configure the channel in MW to process the BUFR data when they will be available.
