+==== FTP Setup ====
+<WRAP alert  100%>Here you find only basic information on the setup of VWS. Please study the documentation and /or ask your questions on the VWS specific parts of the forum.</WRAP>
+Sequence of steps to follow:
+  * use your ftp program to download the file **tags.vws.htx** from your website folder **weather28/scriptsVW/**
+  * move this file to your VWS template folder on yor PC. Often this is **C:\vws\root\**
+  * Go in VWS to menu **__I__nternet** and then to **HTML Settings**
+<WRAP tip>Here you set in the left colom which file must be converted by VWS. Converted means that all VWS tags (example: **^vhi007^**) are replaced by the real value, in this example it would be the maximum outside temperature of today.
+The file is saved at the location and with the name as specified by you in the right colom
+</WRAP>
+{{ :vws_tags_upload.jpg?nolink |}}
+  * type
+    * left C:\vws\root\**tags.vws.htx**
+    * right  C:\vws\root\**tagsVW.txt**
+    * set the  **Update Timer** nearly at the bottom at 5 minutes
+  * click the button upload **Files to Internet**
+    * in the "from" location you type the name of the converted file  C:\vws\root\**tagsVW.txt**
+    * in the right colom ?proceeded by some extra as /httpdocs/ ?  you type **/weather28/uploadVW/**
+    * Click on the "calendar" icon where you set the uploadtime and frequency. In the example you see that TagsVW.txt is uploaed every 5 minutes.
+==== uploading the graphs ====
+In the VWS menu go to **__M__odify Display** choice **Graph**.
+The next box with a lot of selection possibillities is displayed. Adapt you VWS to generate at least the checked settings in this image.
+{{ :vws_graph_select.jpg?nolink |}}
+==== VWS - WFLASH upload ====
+If you alreaqdy use WeatherFlash (wflash) you can skip this part.
+{{ :vws_wflash.jpg?nolink |}}
+In the VWS menu go to  **__I__nternet** choice **Weatherflash**
+User should be  **DEMO**  in capitals.
+Timer should be not to much less then 30 seconds. It is a waste of resources to set it much lower as you have to understand that the wflash files are uploaded 24/7, if there are visitors to your site or not.
+In the box **Active Server Page** check **Activate**
+Here you have to type the name of the script which is accepting the WFLASH uploads.\\
+The script is stored in weather28/scriptsVW/ with the name **submit.php**
+If your website name is %%www.yourwebsite.com%% you set this value to **%%www.yourwebsite.com/weather28/scriptsVW/submit.php%%?**
+Please do not forget the ? at the end, as in the examples. The wflash files will not be uploaded without that **?**
+Press **Close**
+==== Use of already available wflash files ====
+If you are already uploading wflash files, you have to set the location of the files for the template scripts.
+Default the template scripts search for them in the upload folder **weather28/uploadVW/**.
+<code>#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# IMPORTANT     will you be uploading to the default upload folder (uploadXX) where xx is the short code for your weather program
+#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+#
+$SITE['standard_upload']= true;
+#       If you do not want or are not able to upload to the default folder set the correct upload folder here
+#
+#$SITE['uploadDir']	= '../';        // #####        example for upload to root
+#$SITE['clientrawDir'] 	= '../';
+#$SITE['graphImageDir'] = '../';
+#---------------------------------------------------------------------------</code>
+Remove the comment mark at the line  **$SITE['clientrawDir']** and point to your own loacation. The name clientrawDir is used for all realtime files, so also for WFLASH.
+The **../** should be included, as it signals that the remainder of the location starts in the root of the website.
+IF the wflash files are located in %%www.yourwebsite.com/wflash/%%  you change that line to
+<code>
+$SITE['clientrawDir'] 	= '../wflash/';</code>
