Please note that for this suite to work, every configurable setting in any way related to web sites, must be set to defaults (unless there are no defaults, e.g. passwords). Most, but not all, these defaults are set correctly when you go to '''Settings menu''' → ''Internet settings'' → '''web/FTP settings''' and then select '''I want to use the supplied default web site'''.  However, there are other settings elsewhere, (e.g. '''Settings menu''' → ''NOAA settings'' → '''Output files''' and '''Settings menu''' → ''NOAA settings'' → '''FTP options''') that must also be kept at defaults.  Quoted setting navigation paths are correct for 3.10.x releases, but might change in future.

Well, good news (for now). The distribution zip file contains a folder named /webfiles-legacy.

This folder contains a "new" version of the original web site that uses the same data-driven approach of the new template. So you can enjoy the efficiency of the new single data file upload with the old look and feel.

Be aware though that these legacy files will no longer be maintained or updated, and at some stage will be removed from the distribution file.
