It gets uploaded to the directory you specify in the internet settings, the same as the 'standard' web pages. So (assuming you're using the standard web pages, and everything is configured correctly) if your Cumulus index page is http://some.domain.com/index.htm, your realtime.txt file is at http://some.domain.com/realtime.txt

Then your realtime.txt file should be at http://auchterderranweather.freeglo.net/realtime.txt but that gives a 404. That doesn't necessarily mean that the file isn't there, just that your web server can't or won't supply it.

Assuming you've configured Cumulus to upload the realtime.txt file, if you use Filezilla to look at your web space, does realtime.txt appear in the same directory as the Cumulus index.htm file?

it doesn't appear steve. Now that I know how to upload files a bit better could you tell me how to upload the file or where to retreive it?

Is that in the file that shows the realtime data

Sorry, I don't understand the question. SWN just require the realtime.txt file.
