Hello Steve :) I've just joined the forum to find an answer to this. I've looked at the wiki fix, but it's all double dutch to me. What is the likelyhood of Cumulus having secure FTP built in in the future. I'm assured by the firm hosting my site that it becoming the industry norm.
Thanks
Pete

The FTP component I use does support FTPS (FTP over SSL) but not SFTP (SSH FTP) so it is possible that at some point I could look into adding support for FTPS.

Thanks for the swift response. So, do I have to reconfigure the software in some way? I cannot see anywhere. Please bear in mind I'm a numpty at this.
Thanks

You just follow the instructions in the wiki entry. Other people are using this method and it works. The only configuration you need in Cumulus is to set the batch file to run, in the internet settings.

If you mean how do you get FTPS to work in Cumulus alone, then you can't. As I said, I will need to look into adding it at some point.
