That sounds like an obvious solution.
Regarding the keep-alive, I left FileZilla running to your server Steve, and it still timed out the connection after 5 minutes, even with the keep-alives. So it looks like the FTP service may ignore them anyway!

Right, I'm not going on. But, I certainly do not upload the temp file, I upload the txt file so that Cumulus can process the web tags inside the file...
Cumulus processes the tags before the upload occurs. Here's the basic sequence:
- Cumulus reads in the template file realtimegaugesT.txt
- Cumulus replaces the tags in realtimegaugesT.txt and saves the result to realtimegauges.txttmp
- Cumulus then uploads the contents of realtimegauges.txttmp to the web server and saves it as realtimegauges.txt
- The gauges web page then references the values in realtimegauges.txt and uses them to set the gauges to the correct values

Correct!

Correct!

So you agree that the tmp file is the one that should be uploaded? It's good that you can see this.

Hmmmmm ... the above quote from you tends to suggest not.

No, no, no, I personally do not click on the tmp file and tell Cumulus to upload it, I click the txt file and then Cumulus processes that to make the tmp file which is uploaded. Wholla!
