Is there a local realtime.txt?

Post by passero »

Today I received my Oregon Scientific WMR 88 and am very happy with it.
I instantly installed Cumulus and it's a great piece of software!

I however do have a question about the realtime.txt
I managed to configure cumulus so it will upload the realtime.txt to my website which is fine.

I however do not see a local copy of the realtime.txt
Is there a way to make cumulus put it on the local HD instead of uploading it via FTP?

The reason why I would like to do so it because I want to store the information in my own database (MySql) so I can perform custom queries and so on.
I can write a simple PHP file that does the job for me on the FTP location but it would be great if I can do it locally.

I can use the May13.txt file but that's not real time :)

Thanks.

Yes, the realtime.txt file gets created in the Cumulus installation folder (the folder where the cumulus.exe file lives). If you untick 'Realtime.txt FTP' but still have 'enable realtime' set, Cumulus will create the file but not attempt to upload it.
