Lightning/2000 can automatically upload the various screen
capture files (see Screen Captures Dialog) to a website. All
of the automatically captured files that are generated will be
uploaded.

At least one of the automatic screen captures (real-time
lightning, summary, or nowcast) must be enabled to utilize
this feature.

While the files are being transferred to your FTP server,
Lightning/2000 will have a reduced ability to detect lightning.
This effect will be lessened if Lightning/2000 is running on a
fast machine, and especially if you have a fast connection
(NOT dial-up) to the Internet.

Enabled

This box must be checked to enable the automatic FTP feature.
If you are using a custom summary to FTP files and do not
want to automatically send screen capture images every few
minutes, then leave this box unchecked.

Update interval

This is how often the automatically generated file(s) will be
sent to the remote site.

Use temporary filename for uploads

When checked, this option causes the file to be uploaded to
be renamed to a temporary name (zyxwdcba.tmp) before the
upload. After a successful upload, the old version of the file
on the server (if it exists) is deleted and the temporary file is
renamed to the correct file name. This is the default, and
should only be unchecked if there is a problem.

Remote host

This is the name of the server where the automatically
captured files will be sent.
