CAUTION: Be aware for a remote server, there can be conflict between the thread that Cumulus uses to run FTP and the independent thread that Cumulus uses to log the latest observations into this file. There is a danger that a FTP in progress still has exclusive access and the logging therefore fails e.g. if the interval between FTP is too small or, it is not near the start of the month so, the file is big; see [[FAQ#I_am_getting_I.2FO_error_32_or_I.2FO_error_103]].
