Many ISPs now only support [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_File_Transfer_Protocol SFTP] due to the open, unsecure nature of standard FTP
 
As Cumulus does not currently support SFTP an external SFTP application must be used
 
[http://winscp.net WINSCP] can be used
 
Looking at http://winscp.net/eng/docs/script_upload_single_file, winSCP can be used to script SFTP
 
You have to run it by hand once, to allow the SSH key to be trusted, then it works on its own
 
The following script works well
 
The following script works well
option batch abort
option confirm off
exit
 
<br>
 
*change User:pass@server to your username, password and server name combination
 
*change /remotepath to the remote path on the web server (as seen when you SFTP to the web site)
 
 
 
After creating the batch file with the commands in it, configure Cumulus to call it at each web update interval. If you don't supply an ftp host name to Cumulus, it will create the updated web files locally but not attempt to ftp them.
 
 
 
To upload the 'standard web site' that ships with Cumulus, you will need to copy the following files:
 
*index.htm
*today.htm
*yesterday.htm
*record.htm
*trends.htm
*gauges.htm
*thismonth.htm
*thisyear.htm
 
and to the 'images' folder:
 
*wind.png
*rain.png
*press.png
*temp.png
*windd.png
*raint.png
*tempm.png
*raind.png
*windsm.png
