In Cumulus click Configuration, Internet, then the 'Files' tab

Then in one of the blank lines add the following:

The local filename is the full path and filename of your rss file residing on your computer
Then enter the remote filename that is to be uploaded to your website

Next tick 'Process' and 'FTP'.

All this information and much more can be found in the WIKI. Everyone should take the time to read this information as the answers to many questions can be found there.

Hmmmm, I think I am figured it out. You mean that I must add a process in my Cumulus console Internet settings/files tab and process my rssT.xml file via ftp to web server to become rss.xml?

I'm not really sure. I think it has something to do with encoding characters and I do not know how to correct it, which you can see in your produced xml file:

<pubDate>pon, 03 o�u 2014 00:40:02 GMT</pubDate>
<ttl>10</ttl>
<lastBuildDate>pon, 03 o�u 2014 00:40:02 GMT</lastBuildDate>
<item>
<title> conditions</title>
<link>www.sibenikusrcu.com</link>
<pubDate>pon, 03 o�u 2014 00:40:02 GMT</pubDate>

Aha !!! - there is a basic logic flaw (by everyone !)

From wiki re. time date formating ....
Displays the day as an abbreviation (Sun-Sat) using the strings appropriate to the Windows Locale.
This is part of a double whammy which at the momemt I can't see a way around without using php ..

The pubdate instead of being 'English' is in 'local', further Cumulus processes the template as ANSI which wouldn't be a problem as long as there aren't any accented characters.
Together they make the xml parsers fail.

In this moment I am off my local computer......In my rss file I got lines:

<pubDate><#timeUTC format="ddd, dd mmm yyyy hh':'nn':'ss 'GMT'"></pubDate>
<ttl>1</ttl>
<lastBuildDate><#timeUTC format="ddd, dd mmm yyyy hh':'nn':'ss 'GMT'"></lastBuildDate>
<item>
<title><#location> conditions</title>
<link>www.sibenikusrcu.com</link>
<pubDate><#timeUTC format="ddd, dd mmm yyyy hh':'nn':'ss 'GMT'"></pubDate>

In this case it is a month and not the date issue because "march" in my language have "ž" letter. So I suppose that I must change "ddd" into "dd" and "mmm" into "mm"?

What should I do If i want to see days and months in ddd or mmm format?

about time...I am living in gmt+1 time zone. Should I must add a "+1" next to gmt?

Also in my rss file I got line:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

I change all "ddd" and "mmm" in my cumulusrss.xml and .....T.xml files and finally data appears. When I place a rss link on my web page www.sibenikusrcu.com data appears but I can see only my "primary" data which appears first time when I download my rss data and if I refresh page data is still the same. On my Cumulus web page, when I click on rss icon, data appears (refresh) normally.
Whether the data should be refreshed automatically?
What's wrong now....again?
