The following updates need to be made for WUHU to run correctly.
In the orginal, there was no provision made for sending the file created in step 6, to your ftp server.

Step 7 will get the file created in step 6 to the ftp server.
ALso an issue was fixed that now allow for the '@' sign to be used on the ftp side of WUHU.


1.Save the file WUHU_stickertags.txt to folder of your choice.
2.Expand WUHU and click the Alerts/Actions-button. A new window will appear.
3.In Main Action/Alert, select Enable Actions and Repetitions and set the value for Selections to 1.
4.In WUHU Operation Alarms/Actions, select On Weather Update. If you want to update the file ie. every 2 minutes, select also On Update Seconds and set the value to 120.
5.Click on Sound/Action-button (below Weather Update). A new window will appear.
6.Write the next string in Action on Activation:
template:"X:\(where_you_have_saved_WUHU_stickertags.txt)\WUHU-stickertags.txt" "X:\(where_you_want_to_save_the_file)\WU_stickertags.txt"
X: is the partition-letter. The above string is an example, configure to match your own computer.

7. To run multiple actions, you need to use an action file.

Replace your existing action with:

actionfile:" C:\Heavyweather\MyActions.txt"

Then, create the C:\Heavyweather\MyActions.txt using notepad.

In that file, list one action per line:

template:"C:\downloads\WUHU_stickertags.txt" "C:\text\WU_stickertags.txt"
http://ftp://user:password@myserver.com "C:\text\WU_stickertags.txt" "/public/WU_stickertags.txt"
.
.
.

Where:

1) user is your user name, and may contain the @ symbol.
2) password may contain the @ symbol
3) myserver.com is the FTP server that you are uploading to. Note, you must have an account on that server.

Example:

http://ftp://joebob@comcast.net:mypassword@myserver.com "C:\text\WU_stickertags.txt" "/public/WU_stickertags.txt"


8.Confirm by clicking OK
9.Save the changes with Save Changes
10.Simply join and we will take it from there.
You should be able to see your file in action at www.yourweatherwebsite.com/WU_stickertags.txt
