			If DoUploadFTP equals true, then the FTP username and password the other parameters for the FTP site are taken from the [[Cumulus.ini]] file will be used to upload the output files.
			So beside the username and password the '''Host''', '''Port number''', '''Directory''', '''ActiveFTP''', '''Sslftp''' are used. All other parameters are ignored. The '''UTF8encode''' setting is irrelevant because ''CumulusUtils'' uses UTF8 for all its files so can't be optional.

			If the required '''Host''' inifile parameter is empty, then no upload takes place.
			If the destination in ''CumulusUtils'' is NOT specified (''UploadDir'' is empty) then the destination specified in [[Cumulus.ini]] is used ('''Directory''').

== Introduction ==
Originally CumuluUtils was designed just to create the output and let the user decide what to do with it. As the system grew and the number of output files grew with it that became a bit awkward and slow so automation of that process was required. As CumulusUtils is designed for a remote website and the output is intended to be used for that website, it was logical to copy the output files directly to that URL.

== Operation ==
The operation is implicit and has no specific commandline or module name. When CumulusUtils is run, with whatever command, the output is copied directly to the required URL when the application is required to do so.

The FTP upload operation is subject to the optimisation parameter [[Thrifty]], see also the [[CumulusUtils#Running_CumulusUtils|commandline]]. The [[Thrifty]] command qualifier finds its origin in the presence of low debit payed lines over which the output has to be transferred. This called for reduction of the output size. For details see [[Thrifty]].

== Output ==
If configured, there can be a specific FTP logfile which logs more information on the transfer process than the standard logfile.

== Inifile parameters ==

DoUploadFTP=true | false (when '''false''' no Uploads take place, when '''true''' it is otherwise)
UploadDir= (specification of the FTP directory where to upload the output files without trailing slash)
FtpLog=on | off (If '''on''' the additional FTP logging is done, when '''off''' otherwise)
