Webfiles Not Updating

I have the Sandaysoft template working on my website: http://www.apcat.org without issue. Among the uploaded data I have the realtime gauges working so that /home/pi/CumulusMX/web/realtimegaugesT.txt is FTP'd up to the site to the public_html folder. This setup in the extra webfiles panel. It all seems to be working quite well.

I have been trying to setup in parallel the Saratoga templates. To do this in the next line down in the extra webfiles panel, sitting in the same CumulusMX/web/ directory I am trying to update the CUtags.txt file and FTP that up to CUtags.php. This is going into a separate NEWpublic_html folder. Unfortunately, CumulusMX neither updates the file on the Pi or FTP's the file to the folder. Just nothing happens.

Is there some "switch" in MX that needs to be set? Is there a limitation in the FTP process that performs one update/upload but no other? I've gone through the .ini file and things appear to be "correct".

Any advice would be much appreciated

Some config changes require a restart of MX, have you tried restarting it after adding the extra files?

Yes I restart the RPi and Cumulus after each change to make certain the .ini file is read. But I think I've solved the problem. I deleted the entries for the various webfile FTP settings and re-entered them elsewhere in the table. Now everthing works. I can only assume that I had some invisible characters embedded in the field that was causing a problem. This time I typed everything all over again. Perhaps I had cut and pasted it before? I did not find a typo (which is almost always the problem). Sometimes is the darndest things...
