Auto mode is a powerful feature that allows users to configure BlueZone Secure FTP to automatically select the correct file
encoding format: ASCII (typically text files) or Binary (typically program files).
When the auto mode file transfer mode is enabled, BlueZone Secure FTP looks at the file extensions of the files to be transferred
and compares them to the file extensions in the list. The files are then transferred as either ASCII or Binary depending
on the selected settings.
Tip
Since there are far fewer ASCII file extensions than Binary file extensions, it is usually better to set the default mode
to Binary and list the files you want to transfer as ASCII in the Exceptions list.
Default mode for all file transfers
The Transfer File with Auto Mode group is used to configure how file extensions listed in the list box below are transferred.
Select which mode (ASCII or Binary) you want as the default mode:
|
• |
ASCII: If selected and auto mode is selected on the Options tab, BlueZone Secure FTP sends all files with the extensions listed in the list box as Binary and all others as ASCII.
|
|
• |
Binary: If selected and auto mode is selected on the Options tab, BlueZone Secure FTP sends all files with the extensions listed in the list box as ASCII and all others as Binary.
|
