So some mistakes do not matter because if no change of directory was actually required, these pages will be uploaded correctly. | ||
* Any files you specify for uploading at standard update frequency are uploaded between standard pages (if 'Include Standard Files' selected) and standard images (if 'Include Standard Images' selected), and in 'remote filenames' you specify the path including any web site directory, so there is no call to 'change directory'. In this case, if that web site directory is invalid, the upload fails. | |||
* The standard images for gauges and trends pages are uploaded after the standard pages, (and any pages you specify for uploading,) by performing a second 'change directory' this time fixed at 'images'; if this fails, the files will still be uploaded to the current web site directory (FTP root or the directory you specified in '''Sites/Options'''). | |||
* If you have enabled ''Realtime'', the realtime.txt file is uploaded without doing a change directory, by appending "/realtime.txt" to the directory on the ''Internet settings'' screen in '''Sites/Options'''. In this case, if the web site directory is invalid, the upload fails. | * If you have enabled ''Realtime'', the realtime.txt file is uploaded without doing a change directory, by appending "/realtime.txt" to the directory on the ''Internet settings'' screen in '''Sites/Options'''.

* On the ''NOAA Setup'' screen the optional Directory parameter required is the full path from your FTP root, to where the NOAA report pages are to be stored. (It is totally independent of the directory on the ''Internet settings'' screen in '''Sites/Options'''). Click the '''Help''' button for full explanation. Like realtime.txt, the upload is by appending the filename for the report to the NOAA directory and will fail if that directory is specified wrongly. | * On the ''NOAA Setup'' screen the optional Directory parameter required is the full path from your FTP root, to where the NOAA report pages are to be stored.
