Configuration Files

SEAGULL Secure FTP Pro 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 SEAGULL Secure FTP Pro configuration settings.

To export SEAGULL Secure FTP Pro’s configuration settings to a file:
  1. From SEAGULL Secure FTP Pro’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, SEAGULL Secure FTP Pro will automatically supply the correct file extension.

  1. Click the Save button.

To import the SEAGULL Secure FTP Pro configuration settings from a file:
  1. From SEAGULL Secure FTP Pro’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.  SEAGULL Secure FTP Pro will immediately use the configuration settings stored in this configuration file.

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

Using the Start Configuration File

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