If you run a web server locally (same PC, or on your local network), you can get Cumulus to copy files instead of using FTP. You'll need to list the files on the files tab of the internet settings, and specify a file name for the remote file in each case. Don't tick the FTP? box. For the standard images, you can supply a folder name on the same screen, and they will all get copied there.

There's a limit of 10 files on the files tab, but you can increase this to 20 by editing cumulus.ini, with Cumulus stopped. Follow the format of the entries for first 10 files.
