The FTP upload operation is subject to the optimisation parameter [[Thrifty]], see also the [[CumulusUtils#Running_CumulusUtils|commandline]].

If DoUploadFTP equals true, then the FTP username and password the other parameters for the FTP site are taken from the [[Cumulus.ini]] file will be used to upload the output files. | |||
So beside the username and password the '''Host''', '''Port number''', '''Directory''', '''ActiveFTP''', '''Sslftp''' are used. All other parameters are ignored. The '''UTF8encode''' setting is irrelevant because ''CumulusUtils'' uses UTF8 for all its files so can't be optional. | |||
If the required '''Host''' inifile parameter is empty, then no upload takes place. | |||
If the destination in ''CumulusUtils'' is NOT specified (''UploadDir'' is empty) then the destination specified in [[Cumulus.ini]] is used ('''Directory'''). | |||
Then next, in a loop over all output files entitled , the upload takes place as the final stage of the ''CumulusUtils'' run. | |||
