I host my saratoga-weather.org on 1and1 .. I do have a small XAMPP system for testing (not publicly accessible).
The upload frequency for clientraw.txt is set on WD Control Panel, Web Files/Web Page/Real Time FTP/WDL, Real time client TAB
The 'Delay between uploading data (seconds)' box is set to '5' for me.
I can't help you with uploads/file creation to a local server screenshots.. my setup uses FTP so I have no experience with doing the setup for local file copy instead. Sorry...
For your remote webserver, you'll need to copy all the template files and image directories to the document root of that site (manual FTP most likely). Then WD should be set up to use it as a regular site
You set up the FTP Main Screen with your FTP server credentials (Control panel, FTP and Connections, Connections TAB)
Make sure the Main Internet Switch is on. Then on the Web Files Upload Times TAB, pick an upload frequency (I use 5 minute intervals).
In the Control Panel, WebFiles/WebPage/Real time, Custom Web Page Setup TAB, you set up to upload testtags.txt ->testtags.php and trends-inc.txt -> trends-inc.html on your remote website.
Best regards,
Ken
