Configuration Management

Configuration Files

BlueZone FTP has the ability to import and export configuration files directly to and from the Windows Registry.  A tremendous asset for Systems Administrators, these files can then be used on other machines to set BlueZone FTP’s configuration settings.

To export BlueZone FTP’s configuration settings to a file:
  1. From BlueZone FTP’s MenuBar, select File:Save As.  The Save Configuration As dialog will be displayed.

  2. Enter a file name.

NOTE You do not have to type in the file extension, BlueZone FTP will automatically supply the correct file extension.

  1. Click the Save button.

To import the BlueZone FTP configuration settings from a file:
  1. From BlueZone FTP’s MenuBar, select File:Open.  The Open Configuration dialog will be displayed.

  2. Select or browse to the desired configuration file.

  3. Click the Open button.  BlueZone FTP will immediately use the configuration settings stored in this configuration file.

NOTE  To store imported Windows Registry changes, go to the BlueZone FTP's MenuBar, select File:Save.

Using the Start Configuration File

System Administrators can pre-configure BlueZone FTP by saving the desired configuration settings to a file named start and then including the file on the BlueZone FTP distribution diskette.  When BlueZone FTP is launched, it looks for a file named start.zft and will “auto-open” the file if it exists.
