#*The file name that Cumulus uses for the created local webpage depends on whether the original template is being processed by ''Include Standard Files'' (in which case the created web page is the same name without a T) or being processed as an ''Extra file'' because it is listed on the ''Files'' tab (or in cumulus.ini FTP section) as a local file (in which case the created web page is the same as the original filename with its extension but with 'tmp' suffixed to the extension). The latter copes with customised templates that do not use the 'T' convention.[[File:Cumulus FTP Process.png]] | |||
#Cumulus will FTP these up to your web space on the internet. If you have asked it to use ''Rename'' on the remote file, a temporary name is created with the suffix 'tmp' added to the final file name as shown in diagram above. The final file names on your web site will be as in table above, without the letter T for templates being processed by ''Include Standard Files'', or the name you specify for the remote file name on the ''Files' tab (or in [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_FTP_Site]]) for customised templates (The chart labels these as ''Extra files''). | |||
