location of realtime.txt

Post by btje »

Hello,

I setup the website stuff and see the images and all updated at my site.

But the realtime.txt keeps located at the root of the install dir of cumulus.

I installed cumulus on a computer and host a ftp on the same computer. The dir for that ftp part is a other partition.

How to move the realtime.txt toe the ftp?

You just tick the boxes 'Enable Realtime' and 'Enable Realtime FTP' on the Internet setup? :?

I have done that and still the realtime.txt is located at my root install dir (it is updated) and not at the ftp dir.

Then you have most likely configured the ftp directory incorrectly in Cumulus, so the ftp is failing.

You could copy the files instead of using ftp, as they're on the same PC.

Doh! Missed that bit. Yes copy the file (in fact all the files!) it is much more reliable - this is what I do.

The wierd thing is that the html files and all the png files do appear in the ftp dir but just the realtime.txt doesn't

I want to use the android app so it needs to be in this dir.

The ftp commands used for the 'normal' files are:

CWD "directory path"
PUT "file"

The ftp command for realtime.txt is

PUT "directory path/realtime/txt"

So the first can work and the second fail. This usually means you need to leave the directory blank.
