#For most modern web pages, including those provided, use UTF-8 [[Webtags#Encoding|encoding description]]. If your web pages appear to be empty when they are uploaded, look near the front of such files where the [[Customised_templates#Coding_standard_and_character_encoding_for_Customised_Templates_using_the_same_names_as_Standard_Cumulus_Templates|encoding declarations]] will be found. Cumulus 1.9.4 build 1093 changed all the template pages from XHTML 1.0 Transitional using charset=iso-8859-1 encoding to HTML 5 using charset="UTF-8" encoding. It uses this without [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark Byte Order Mark] (BOM).

==== Directory related problems for FTP ====
The following pointers should help:
* All web site file references are case sensitive. So if your FTP server directory is ''public_html'', then 'Public_HTML' will not work!
* On the ''Internet settings'' screen in '''Sites/Options''' the optional Directory parameter required is ''the path from your FTP root'', to where the web pages are to be stored. It is ''not'' the '''Universal Resource Locator (URL)''' that you would specify to view the web page in a browser.
* Relative paths (without a leading slash) are always safer than absolute paths (with a leading slash) and you may find that just specifying (for example) "public_html" works OK, but this all depends on how your ftp server and your ftp account is set up.
