Cumulus Support

I just discovered an error message while running MX on Linux that it could not upload my dayfile with .bat file. What would be the way to do that on Linux? I did some searching but at the moment don't see a solution.

Thanks.

Cumulus can do the upload for you, but if you want to do it from the command line I'd use cURL which I use for moving backup files around.

On my phone at the mo so I don't have the syntax to hand but there is a man page online.

On my windows machine that is what I am doing. In the external programs box using the .bat file Cumulus1 uploads the dayfile once a day. And, I could list the dayfile in the uploaded webfiles section of Cumulus1 or CumulusMX but that uploads it every time I update my website, in this case every 15 minutes.

I am checking out cURL. Any other methods available?

I've found lftp very useful

curl -s -m 10 /path/to/source_file ftp://"$FTPHOST":"$FTPPORT""$FTPDIR"/ --user "$FTPUSER":"$FTPPASS"

-s = Silent (not necesarry)
-m 10 = 10 seconds timeout rto upload this file, otherwise FTP upload error

I hope this helps
