Newbie - problems uploading to website

Hi All
Newbie here and have run into a bit of a problem uploading to my website
Basically the Cumulus data 'took over' my index page on the website and the only way I could sort it was using a ftp software to delete all the offending files and reload the original site.
I am afraid I cannot find the answer to my question so looking for advice here
If I want the cumulus data to be displayed on my website page (say) www.abc.com/weather.htm what settings do I need to input, the data flow seems to be working OK I just need to aim it at the correct page
Thanks

If you want to use the 'standard' web pages, they have to have the standard names. If you don't want the index.htm file to replace your existing home page, the usual solution is to create a directory for the Cumulus pages, called "weather", say, and configure Cumulus to upload to that directory (having uploaded the standard setup into that directory). You can then link to the Cumulus pages from elsewhere on your site. That's the setup that I use.

If you want your weather page to be called weather.htm, you will need to configure the file uploads on the 'files' tab of the internet settings, using your own templates (which could just be the existing ones with some modifications). There is more information about this in the wiki, starting here - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Website_setup
