Server Tab

This tab of the FTP action specifies server and login settings.

FTP

FTP server: The server name (i.e., ftp.kinook.com) or IP address (required).

Port: The port to connect on (required, default is 21).

Timeout: How long (in seconds) to wait for a connection or response before timing out (required). Enter 0 to wait indefinitely.

Username: The username to login as (required).

Password: User's password (optional).

Use passive mode: When the client is in active mode (unchecked), the remote server establishes a connection with the client to transfer data. When the client is in passive mode (checked), the client is responsible for establishing the connection. This may be necessary when accessing some servers through a proxy server or those that are protected behind a firewall.

Proxy type: Configures the type of FTP proxy server (if any) to connect to:

•	None: No proxy server.

•	User: Specifies that the client is not logged into the proxy server. The USER command is sent in the format username@ftpsite followed by the password. This is the format used with the Gauntlet proxy server.

•	Login: Specifies that the client is logged into the proxy server. The USER command is then sent in the format username@ftpsite followed by the password. This is the format used by the InterLock proxy server.

•	Open: Specifies that the client is not logged into the proxy server. The OPEN command is sent specifying the host name, followed by the username and password.

•	Site: Specifies that the client is logged into the server. The SITE command is sent, specifying the host name, followed by the username and the password.

Proxy server: The proxy server name (i.e., ftp.kinook.com) or IP address (required).

Proxy port: The port to connect on (required).

Proxy username: The username to login as (optional).

Proxy password: User's password (optional).

Do not use directory as reported by server: If unchecked (the default), the action will retrieve the full current directory name from the server and use that to set the current directory when processing subfolders (this may be necessary if the Remote folder is specified as a relative path). If checked, the action will use the path exactly as provided by the user on the Transfer tab (this may be necessary if the server returns paths with non-standard notation; i.e., :[x.y] rather than /x/y as used by some VAX/VMS FTP servers, and absolute paths in slash notation should be specified in the Remote folder field in this case).
