*'Upload Files' allows you to automate the process of sending files from your Cumulus PC onto your webserver. All the login details are taken from Cumulus itself. Within Toolbox you select files to upload and how often. In addition you can chose to overwrite a file on the remote system or add it to the end of an existing one if it already exists. You may optionally force an upload of a file immediately or temporarily disable it from being uploaded.
*'HTTP Requests' gives you the ability to schedule tasks on your web server by sending a standard HTTP requests. For example, you have a script on your webserver which processes your dayfile.txt each day. With 'Toolbox' you can add an entry to call the task via a normal web address. Any script you can run via a browser can be scheduled in Toolbox, and the results can be captures to a file too.
*'Remote eMail control' is still in testing. It allows you to send messages to the Toolbox via email. Currently you may update the new 'Current Condition' text remotely. (available from build 907 in Cumulus). For example, if you are away from your station you may send an email saying "Heavy rain and windy"; Toolbox will intercept this and update Cumulus, and your website. See the text on the relevant 'tab' within Toolbox Setup for more details.
*The 'realtime.txt' tab allows you to take a regular, and running log of the realtime.txt file produced by Cumulus. For example, Cumulus may produce a realtime.txt file every 15 seconds. Within Toolbox you can ask it to keep a running log every minute. This log can then be uploaded to your website periodically (using the Upload Files tab) and services on your website may make use of this file. (e.g jGraphs)
