			Cumulus allows you to create web pages which can either be viewed only on your computer or made available to all via the internet.
	Cumulus allows you to create pages which can then be made available to all via the internet. There are a number of ways to do this, however all of the options have one specific pre-requisite -- you must have web space on the internet which allows standard FTP access. If you are not sure, ask your webspace provider or check the email they sent you when setting up your webspace. There will be a mention to the FTP server in the email.

			To put them on the internet,
			* you must have [[webspace\|web space]] on the internet which allows standard FTP access.
			* you will require an [[FTP tools\|FTP tool]] (not essential if you are using your own computer to both run cumulus and to [[webspace\|act as web server]] as in that case you can copy files between locations at setup and turn off FTP on Cumulus).
			== webspace ==
		⚫	Webspace is available commercially (paid) or free from a variety of sources. Your internet service provider (ISP) may provide you with some space.

		⚫	It is worth checking that any free provider allow FTP -- example, Google does not allow FTP as part of it’s Sites package so you can not use this with Cumulus. If you are not sure, ask your webspace provider or check the email they sent you when setting up your webspace. They will mention the FTP server in the email or support website.
⚫	[[Webspace]] is available commercially (paid) or free from a variety of sources. Your internet service provider (ISP) may provide you with some space ~~or you can sign up to free hosting~~.

⚫	It is worth checking that ~~the~~ free provider allow FTP -- example, Google does not allow FTP as part of it’s Sites package so you can not use this with Cumulus.

	Many of the ‘free’ offerings will also want to automatically insert adverts on your page, and may have other restrictions.		Many of the ‘free’ offerings will also want to automatically insert adverts on your page, and may have other restrictions.
			== FTP tool ==
		⚫	This is a tool which transfers files from your computer onto your webspace. As a minimum you will need this tool to ''transfer some files as a one-off at setup''. There are a huge array of [[FTP tools]], both commercial and free.

			If you can get your FTP tool to work, then the host, username, password and (optional) directory it uses to transfer the initial files are exactly the ones you will need to enter into the Cumulus Internet Configuration screen. See cumulus help for more information. It is worth noting that although the FTP host is usually expressed as a FTP address (e.g. 'ftp://' might be the initial part of an internet based address), it can be expressed as a numerical location (e.g. 127.0.0.1 might be the location of a web server based on your computer, xxx.yyy.u.vvv is a mask denoting a general internet based address) both in your FTP tool and in cumulus.
