== What to select on the 'Files' tab of the '''Internet Settings''' screen within the 'Configuration' menu ==

In this section, the instruction cover both template files (Cumulus has to be asked to 'process' these) and other files (such as images, web pages without cumulus web tags, log files etc) that are to be file transferred or copied multiple times each day.

#''Include Standard Files'' (see top left in this image).

#*Remember if you are not using ''any'' of the standard template names in cumulus\web to unselect this setting (as shown in the nearby image).

#''Include Standard Images'', ''Solar'', ''UV'' and ''Sunshine''

#* These settings are selected as applicable. The images are needed for the moon, trend graphs and gauges to appear on your web site. The last 3 are set according to customisation described above in [[#Slightly less simple customisation of trendsT.htm]].

#*Also list here any non-template files that you want Cumulus to upload (or copy across) at either the normal website updating interval or the realtime updating interval.

#*0 to 9 can be stored in [[cumulus.ini#Section:_FTP_Site]] by placing the path and filename in left hand column on the ''Files'' tab of the '''Internet''' screen within the 'Configuration' menu. An easy way to achieve this is by using the appropriate '''Browse...''' button as that will ensure the parts of the path have the correct separator.

#''Realtime?'' column

#*Leave the column unselected for template (or other) files 0 to 9 to be processed at the upload 'Interval' specified in the middle of the ''Web settings'' frame on the Sites/Options tab of the '''Internet''' screen within the 'Configuration' menu. For NN values '10' upto '99', normal interval processing is achieved by including a ''ExtraRealtimeNN=0'' line.

#''Process?'' column

#*If the local file you have specifed is any other type of file, then leave box in this column clear or for 10 upto 99 add ''ExtraProcessNN=0'' in [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_FTP_Site]].

#''UTF-8?'' column

#''Binary?'' column

#*For web pages 0 to 9, select this [it is mandatory for image files, but optional on most other files; however its use will ensure accurate transfer if any extended (non-ASCII) character set letters (like accented ones) or symbols (like temperature degree symbol) are used on your customised pages] on the ''Files'' tab of the '''Internet''' screen within the 'Configuration' menu; this is achieved by including ''ExtraBinaryNN=1'' for NN values '10' upto '99' in [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_FTP_Site]].

*Files tab of the '''Internet''' screen within the 'Configuration' menu.

*#For files 0 to 9 enter the full path (directory and required file name) in the '''Remote filenames''' column on the ''Files'' tab of the '''Internet''' screen within the 'Configuration' menu; for NN values '10' upto '99' this is achieved by including ''ExtraRemoteNN='' with directory and filename after the equals sign in [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_FTP_Site]]. (IMPORTANT, as the Cumulus '''Help''' screen says the ''Remote filenames'' column "'''does not use the 'ftp directory' setting'''. You should specify the full path for the file, starting from the point you are at when you log in to your site's FTP server" (remember the separator is '/' for server paths).)
