make a .creds file to store your FTP server info from the example.creds file (just run cp example.creds .creds to create the file, then add your info)
the main call you need to make is to run the update_cosma.sh file (which also calls the main.py from within it). This is the single call you need to make.
if I want to make changes to a previously made post, I have to make sure that I'm using the same name that I used before. I should be able to store that info and have it be referenced and not have to manually look it up
