Toolbox FTP

I have been using Toolbox successfully to upload dayfile.txt at 00.10 every day then a few minutes later run a script to enter data into a MySql database.
After an 'upgrade' by my webhost, I had to adjust all the FTP paths in Cumulus, but now cannot get Toolbox to FTP anything, from Cumulus or any other dir. returning a 550 error. It still runs the remote script correctly.
I feel I've tried everything, so wondered if anyone had a suggestion as to what has happened.

I believe, but I could be wrong, that Toolbox copies the FTP directory of your host from Cumulus ini file when you set up the FTP rule (process). It then stores this in one of its files.

Thus if you look at the FTP line (rule) it will still be using the old FTP path and to change it you have to Edit the FTP rule to force it to change the receiving directory.

I guessed that Toolbox collected FTP info from Cumulus, but the correct path is shown in the toolboxftp.txt file (and changes when the rule is edited) and I uninstalled/reinstalled toolbox just in case. I'm baffled!
I previously used a php script to automate actions, but Toolbox is more convienient and the FTP schedule was excellent.
