Extra web files

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

You have to have a path in the Local and Remote filenames and at least a tick in FTP although if it as webtags you will have to also tick Process and you want it real time updated also tick Realtime.

Would he need to also tick Binary for an image file webcam.jpg ?
I recall some mention in the past, and in Cumulus1 Help Steve included for the Files page:
Binary? This column allows you to specify whether each file is Binary (e.g. images) or not (e.g. HTML files)
Enjoy,
Paul

Hi
thanks for the info, but still no luck.
It seems to upload a file called webcam.jpg, but unable to view on website
I have a path to the cumulus web directory in the 1st box that point to the file webcam, and then the remote directory and webcam.jpg in the 2nd path box, with the boexs Process, realtime FTp and binary all ticked.
Any ideas again.

For the webcam jpg you do NOT want the "process" box ticked. This will probably corrupt the file.

That would upload the file to the root directory of your FTP server, is that what you want?

If you still cannot get it to work, switch on FTP logging from the settings, record until an upload fails, then post the ftplog.txt file from the Cumulus folder on this thread.
