Driver Configuration |
Some general configurations must be informed on this Driver's configuration window, on the FTPClient tab, as displayed on the next figure.
FTPClient tab
The available options on this tab are described on the next table.
Available options on the FTPClient tab
Option |
Description |
---|---|
FTP Location |
Inform an IP address or path of an FTP server, such as "ftp://ftp.elipse.com.br/" |
Local Directory |
Local directory to where files must be copied, such as "C:\Mydir\" |
Username |
Inform the name of a user from an FTP server. For an anonymous connection, leave this option blank |
Password |
Inform a password for a user on an FTP server. For an anonymous connection, leave this option blank |
Use TLS/SSL |
If this option is selected, this Driver forces the use of TLS/SSL (Transport Layer Security or Secure Sockets Layer cryptography) security protocol and enables certificate authentication. When this option is not selected, this Driver tries to use TLS/SSL protocol without certificate authentication and, if it fails, then tries again without TLS/SSL protocol. To perform specific settings, use the TLS/SSL Settings option |
Timeout (s) |
Time to wait, in seconds, for a response from an individual command. After this time passes, that operation is aborted |
Retries |
How many times a transaction with a server is reattempted in case it fails. After all retries are exhausted, this Driver assumes a failed connection to a server |
TLS/SSL Settings |
Use this option for specific settings of the TLS/SSL protocol, described on topic TLS/SSL Settings Window |
IP:Port for Active Mode |
The FTP protocol provides Active and Passive data transfer modes. The default is the Passive mode, where a client requests a transfer and data arrives using the same channel. In the Active mode, a client informs an IP address and a TCP/IP port from where a server connects, and then sends those requests back. If users want to use the Active mode, inform in this option a value different from empty, as described on table Available options for the IP:Port for the Active Mode option |
Use Remote Filename as Local Filename |
If this option is selected and the name of the local file is not informed, this Driver tries to use the same file name requested as the local name |
Use EPSV before PASV in passive mode |
In Passive mode, this Driver tries an EPSV command before a PASV command. The EPSV command is not supported by all servers |
Use EPRT before PORT in active mode |
In Active mode, this Driver tries an EPRT command before a PORT command. The EPRT command is not supported by all servers |
Unix Style List |
This Driver, when receiving a list of files from a directory, must extract information about file name and size, for example. There are differences among FTP servers and some servers use a format more common to Windows applications, the NT format, and others use the Unix format. Select this option if the format is Unix. Please check items NT Format and Unix Format for examples of these formats |
