Is it possible to use sftp

[KD7YZ]

When I use FileZilla, I can, and do, use sftp to upload files to folders on my website.

Is there a way to use sftp from within Cumulus?

Not directly, but you can do it as described in the wiki - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/SFTP

]Ok, that's a help.
I now have just the realtime.txt going up at about every 30 seconds, via sftp and winscp.
Quite smoothly too. http://denstarfarm.us/Cumulus/gauges.htm will show the wind guages moving every 30 seconds. Eventually I'll take some of the bandwidth down once I see that it's all working via sftyp.

So I have the batch file and such. see the screenshot.

now then, regarding these 9 files from web folder:
index.htm
today.htm
yesterday.htm
record.htm
trends.htm
gauges.htm
thismonth.htm
thisyear.htm
monthlyrecord.htm

((( and what are those with the "T"?))) in that folder?

then these into the images folder:
compass.png
hum.png
humsm.png
intemp.png
intempsm.png
moon.bmp
press.png

rain.png

I have two text boxes left that you look in for external programs ...
How to I get the two sets of files up? Or maybe better asked, which text boxes do you look at?

[steve]

Those boxes are described in the help for the internet settings screen. You need to supply the name of a new batch file in the 'program' box. Your batch file will contain commands for uploading all of the files that you have listed, so you will have a number of 'put' lines, one for each file (or it may be possible to use wildcards, I don't know). The 'T' files are the 'templates' which Cumulus processes to create the actual web pages and they stay on your PC; the processing is described in the wiki, here - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Customised_templates

Edit: A quick search turned up this thread - https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=8098 - see the last post in the thread where a user has supplied the required details.

OK .. I "might" have figured this out:

sft-web-cmds.txt contains :
------------------------
option batch abort
option confirm off
open username:password@domain
put "location_of->Cumulus\index.htm" /ur_ftp_place-root/Cumulus/web/index.htm

and so on for the files that go into the Cumulus folder on the remote site

then the images into Cumulus/images/ folder on the remote site:


put "C:\Cumulus\images\compass.png"/ur_ftp_place-root/Cumulus/web/compass.png
and so on for the 22 image png's .

rewrite this if you wish, for clarity.

See if it is working now.

good find!
his example is a much more detailed look at it!

so I guess my next task is to do the actual sync.

Still though, it seems mine is uploading the basics and using sftp anyway.
