Both Cumulus 1.x.y and Cumulus MX while running will create web pages in the local 'web' sub-directory, and upload these to the web space by FTP. Cumulus 1.x.y will also upload images (including graphs for 'trends.htm' page, moon image, and wind images as seen on Cumulus main screen) by FTP from the 'web\images' sub-directory to the 'images' folder on your web space. Cumulus MX will also upload by FTP from the installation folder some JSON files used to create graphs.

Both Cumulus 1.x.y, and Cumulus MX, while running should create web pages in the local 'web' sub-directory, and upload these to the web space by FTP.
*Cumulus 1.x.y should also upload by FTP a moon image (moon.bmp), the 3 images wind images (compass.png, windgauge.png, windrose.png) as seen on Cumulus main screen, and graphs for 'trends.htm' page (hum.png, humsm.png, intemp.png, intempsm.png, press.png, presssm.png, rain.png, rainsm.png, raind.png, raindsm.png, raint.png, raintsm.png, temp.png tempsm.png, tempm.png, and tempmsm.png; optionally depending on settings it also uploads  solar.png, solarsm.png, sunshine.png, sunshinesm.png, uv.png, and uvsm.png) from the 'web\images' sub-directory to the 'images' folder on your web space.
*Cumulus MX should also upload by FTP eleven .json files that Cumulus MX creates in the top level directory (that is, the one it's been installed in), for the graphs ("graphconfig.json", "tempdata.json", "pressdata.json", "winddata.json", "wdirdata.json", "humdata.json", "raindata.json", "solardata.json", "dailyrain.json", "sunhours.json", "dailytemp.json").


Apart from the differences in the user interface, and the differences in web pages for 'gauges.htm' and 'trends.htm', both versions of Cumulus generate the same web pages. When looking at the uploaded web pages using a browser, both can be tested in the same way.
