It depends on what you mean, exactly. I use Remote Desktop Connection if I want to access Cumulus, but normally I just look at the data on the web.

What is the best method of loading the data onto the web?

Do you realise that Cumulus can automatically FTP all the necessary files and create a website for you on the internet?
All you need is access to a webserver via FTP

We have a small business exchange server and an internal Companyweb, how do we link Cumulus with this?

Can you be more explicit about what you're trying to achieve?

Ideally i would like to load Cumulus onto other PC's on the internal network so that they could see the live weather data.

There are no built-in facilities in Cumulus for operating over a network, so you can only run the one copy, on the machine that's attached to the weather station. You can either use something like Remote Desktop to access the "server" that's running Cumulus, or perhaps better would be to run a web server, and get Cumulus to create web pages to be viewed by the client PCs. You can get most of the stats out using the web tags (if the supplied pages aren't suitable) and/or the realtime.txt file.
