SFTP

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

Looking at http://winscp.net/eng/docs/script_upload_single_file, winSCP can be used to script SFTP

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 User:pass@server to your username, password and server name combination

• change localpath\realtime.txt to the local path on your PC

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

After creating the batch file with the commands in it, configure Cumulus to call it at each web update interval (using the 'external program' settings on the Internet Settings screen). If you don't supply an ftp host name to Cumulus, it will create the updated web files locally but not attempt to ftp them itself.

To upload the 'standard web site' that ships with Cumulus, you will need to copy the following files:

• index.htm
• today.htm
• yesterday.htm
• record.htm
• trends.htm
• gauges.htm
• thismonth.htm
• thisyear.htm

and to the 'images' folder:

• wind.png
• rain.png
• press.png
• temp.png
• windd.png
• raint.png
• tempm.png
• raind.png
• windsm.png
• rainsm.png
• presssm.png

• winddsm.png
• raintsm.png
