Cumulus doesn't support Secure FTP. You can configure Cumulus to invoke an external program like WinSCP, as described here: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/SFTP | Cumulus doesn't support Secure FTP.

== Directory related problems in FTP == | |||
The following pointers should help: | |||
* 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. Click the '''Help''' button for full explanation, or search the support forum as many people have found this is the hardest parameter to get right. | |||
* The standard pages are uploaded after a 'change directory'; if this fails, the files will still be uploaded to the FTP server root. So some mistakes do not matter because if no change of directory was actually required, your files will be uploaded correctly. | |||
* If you have enabled ''Realtime'', the realtime.txt file is uploaded without doing a change directory, by appending "/realtime.txt" to the supplied directory. In this case, if the directory is invalid, the upload fails. | |||
* See '''Setting up your website''' in Cumulus help for a simple guide to the subfolder structure you need to create and the list of files that need to be uploaded manually when first installing a website. Or see [[Website_setup]] for all the options. | |||
