Hi there
How do you get extra web files to ftp to my ftp server?
I have a file called webcam.jpg saved in the cumulus web folder and this updates every 30 mins, but i want this uploaded to my website with the cumulus updates and cant seem to get it to update.
i have added the path in the 1st part on the extra web files section and the ftpname. (webcam.jpg) and stillnothing
Please help !!!!!
Thanks

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.
