It uses this without [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark Byte Order Mark] (BOM). | ||

==== Directory related problems for FTP ==== | |||
The following pointers should help: | |||
* All web site file references are case sensitive. So if your FTP server directory is ''public_html'', then 'Public_HTML' will not work! | |||
* On the ''Internet settings'' screen in '''Sites/Options''' the optional Directory parameter required is ''the path from your FTP root'', to where the web pages are to be stored. It is ''not'' the '''Universal Resource Locator (URL)''' that you would specify to view the web page in a browser. | |||
* Relative paths (without a leading slash) are always safer than absolute paths (with a leading slash) and you may find that just specifying (for example) "public_html" works OK, but this all depends on how your ftp server and your ftp account is set up. | |||

=== What file names are used when MX processes files === | |||
[[File:Cumulus_FTP_Process.png|350px|right|FTP Process]]Cumulus use two slightly different processes depending on if the file is part of the supplied 'standard' web site, or an extra file you have specified on the ''Internet Settings|Files'' configuration dialog. For each of these processes there is an further variation depending on whether you have enabled the ''Use FTP rename'' option. This graphic shows the various combinations of file-names used for each step of the process. For the standard files, you can substitute any of the file names for indexT.htm, e.g. trendsT.htm | |||
