Many ISPs now only support SFTP due to the open, unsecure nature of standard FTP

As Cumulus does not currently support SFTP an external SFTP application must be used

WINSCP can be used

You have to run it by hand once, to allow the SSH key to be trusted, then it works on its own

The following script works well

option batch abort
option confirm off
open User:pass@server
put "localpath\realtime.txt" /remotepath
exit

change /remotepath to the remote path on the web server (as seen when you SFTP to the web site)
