#*If ''Include Standard Files'' is selected it processes all the standard files (those listed in table above). The (built in, third party) component which handles the processing of the template file copes with a missing input file by creating an empty output file.
#*If ''Include Standard Files'' is not selected, then only the files explicitly listed as local files for processing are processed.
#*Regardless of that setting, the Cumulus component will process those listed in [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_FTP_Site]] as local files (the first 10 appear on 'Files' tab in internet settings screen reached from configuration menu) that also have ''Process?'' selected (set to 1 in Cumulus.ini#Section:_FTP_Site).

#Processing means:
#The result of that process is the creation of local web pages (until build 1092 the created pages were in XHTML 1.0 Transitional using charset=iso-8859-1; from build 1093 the created pages are by default - see below for how to change this - in HTML 5 using charset="UTF-8")▼

#**either insert the relevant observations from the weather station,
#**or insert derived values calculated by Cumulus,

#*Otherwise text and code as defined by the template is copied into the output file. <br/><br/>
#The result of that process is the creation of local output pages:
#Cumulus will FTP these up to your web space on the internet. If you have asked it to use ''Rename'' on the remote file, a temporary name is created with the suffix 'tmp' added to the final file name as shown in diagram above. The final file names on your web site will be as in table above, without the letter T for templates being processed by ''Include Standard Files'', or the name you specify for the remote file name on the ''Files' tab (or in [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_FTP_Site]]) for customised templates (what the chart labels as ''Extra files'').▼
#*Typically the output is a HTML web page, but it is also possible to process scripts with cumulus web tags and then produce an output file in JavaScript or PHP Hypertext pre-processor.

#*The file name that Cumulus uses for the created local output page depends on the original template:
#**If template is being processed by "Include Standard Files", the created output page is the same name without a T,
#**If template is listed on the ''Files'' tab (or in cumulus.ini FTP section) as a local file then the created web page has 'tmp' suffixed to the extension. This copes with customised templates that do not use the 'T' convention. <br/><br/>

#*for templates being processed by ''Include Standard Files'', final file name is as in table above without the letter T;
#*for customised templates (what the chart labels as ''Extra files''), final file name is the name you specify for the remote file name on the ''Files' tab (or in [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_FTP_Site]]).
The standard website set up, with several other files, is fully described in [[Simple_Website_setup]].
