[Ham-Mac] Can FLDIGI upload QSOs directly to LoTW?

I did not mean to mislead you with my statement. The application fldigi does not upload direct to LoTW.  It formats the QSO's you select from the logbook so they can be exported in .adif format.  I then use the ARRL tqsl application to apply my digital signature to the file so it can be uploaded to LoTW web page.  It just sounds complicated.  Once you get used to it, it is very easy and I really enjoy the ARRL's LoTW.
