Hello I have troubles with this software, when I ftp uploading the files to my webpage my home index.htm it overwrite my main home webpage.
I use that for many years index.htm.
Is it not possible to make in the new updated version a wx.htm instead index.htm als a main weather page for uploading.

A other question when I start up the program all come up very nice, is it possible to upload this startup page to my webpage.
I cannot figure out what that file name is ?

Regards Art
Many thanks for reading my mail

You can either:

1. Put the weather files into a subdirectory - this is what most people (including myself) do if they already have a 'front page' for their site.
or
2. Turn off 'include standard files' on the files tab of the internet settings, then list the files separately, giving the names you want to use. You'll need to edit the links on each page to match your naming.

Sorry, I don't understand what you're referring to. Do you mean the Cumulus main screen on the PC? There's no way to automatically upload that to a web site. All of the data is available as a web tag, as are the images, so it should be possible to create a web page which looks like the main screen - I think someone did this once.

Art,

As you have an existing website which has as its default homepage index.htm, I suggest you create a sub-folder on your webspace called weather (or some such name) and place all the Cumulus weather folders within it. Then have Cumulus ftp all its pages to this sub-folder.

I have done this in order to host another weather site within my webspace:
