Launching Rocket TE Secure FTP from a Rocket TE Session

Rocket TE Secure FTP can be launched directly from any Rocket TE display session window by selecting Transfer FTP from the Rocket TE menu bar or by clicking the FTP icon found on the Rocket TE toolbar.

The letters FTP are highlighted on the menu if Rocket TE Secure FTP is installed. If the letters FTP or the Rocket TE Secure FTP icon is disabled, then Rocket TE Secure FTP is not installed. If Rocket TE Secure FTP is not installed, contact your system administrator.

Normally, when Transfer FTP is selected from the Rocket TE menu bar, a dialog opens, allowing the end user to select the FTP configuration profile they want to use. To eliminate this step, Rocket TE can automatically open an FTP configuration profile if the file name is identical to the configuration profile name of the display sessions.

Example: Rocket TE Mainframe Display using a configuration profile named mainframe.zmd automatically opens a FTP configuration profile name mainframe.zft.

Follow the steps below to configure Rocket TE FTP to automatically use a profile when launched from a Rocket TE display session:
  1. Configure a Rocket TE Display emulation session and save the settings to a profile by selecting File Save As from the menu bar.
    This example names the profile mainframe.zmd.
  2. From the menu bar of the Rocket TE Display emulator, click Transfer FTP.
    Rocket TE FTP launches and you are prompted to enter the FTP host connection information.
  3. Enter the desired FTP host connection information and save the FTP session to a profile by selecting File Save As from the menu bar.
  4. When prompted, type the profile name mainframe.zft.
