The current monthly log can be updated at your usual website update interval using ''<currentlogfile>'' on the '''Files''' tab of the ''Internet Settings'' screen off the '''Configuration''' menu (or by specifying the parameter 'ExtraLocal[0-99]=<currentlogfile>' in [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_FTP_Site]]).  You can also use <currentlogfile> as part of the remote file path, as explained in the Cumulus '''Help'''.  It is recommended that your remote file is local so the updating can use copy and you do not have FTP ticked to avoid conflict with logging - see [http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12721&p=99793#p9979 support forum here] for a suggested method.
