 You may wish to create a sub-folder to store your weather site, but for this purpose we will assume not.
-With your FTP tool, locate the ‘webfiles’ folder within the Cumulus folder on your PC.  The structure of the webfiles folder now mirrors the required structure on the web site, so '''the set up process simply involves uploading the entire contents of the webfiles folder''' (but not the webfiles folder itself) to the required place on your ftp server, preserving the folder structure.
