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.
