Firstly, we need to get several files and folders onto your webspace. This is a one time only exercise but is essential to the operation of your Cumulus website.
 
Configure your [[FTP tool]] to connect to your webspace. Once done, make your connection and change to the correct directory/folder on your site, as advised by your provider.
You may wish to create a sub-folder to store your weather site, but for this purpose we will assume not.
 
With your FTP tool, locate the ‘webfiles’ folder within the Cumulus folder on your PC. UploadThe structure of the followingwebfiles tofolder yournow webspacemirrors the required structure on the web site, so the set up process simply involves copying the entire contents of the webfiles folder (usingbut FTPnot the webfiles folder itself) to the required place on your ftp server, preserving the folder structure. The files and folders to be uploaded are:
 
*weatherstyle.css
*CumulusRealtime.swf
*dbimages (this is a folder, so upload it and all of its files will also be uploaded)
*images (this is the folder to which Cumulus will upload graph images etc)
 
 
now create a folder ‘images’ This must be in lowercase, with no quotes.
 
upload picture.jpg to the images folder
 
'''Note that the structure of the 'webfiles' folder in Cumulus has now changed slightly to make this process simpler'''. The structure of the webfiles folder now mirrors the required structure on the web site, so the set up process simply involves copying the entire contents of the webfiles folder (but not the webfiles folder itself) to the required place on your ftp server, preserving the folder structure.
