Miscellaneous tab
BlueZone Secure FTP has several miscellaneous options that can be set.
Miscellaneous Options
•  Place folders on top when sorting: Check to sort folder first then sort files.
•  Prompt for destination name before file transfer: Check to prompt for destination file name before a file transfer.
•  Disable automatic LIST after connect and uploads: Check to keep the application from issuing a LIST command upon connect and after an upload. This is helpful when connecting to hosts that have very large directories like Mainframes and iSeries hosts.
•  Overwrite LIST Command with: Check to overwrite the standard LIST command with a server specific command (example: DIR, or LS).
•  Enable Passive Mode: Check to use passive mode for file transfers and LIST commands. This option is usually required in order for FTP data to pass through firewalls.
•  Enable Keep Alive Timer (Minutes): Check to use the keep alive timer to keep the FTP connection open while you are away from your computer.
•  Use Destroy Prefix on Uploads: If checked, every upload has the directory prefix added automatically to the STOR command. This option is used for certain FTP hosts that do not allow clients to change into the upload directory.
•  Use Reduced Buffer Size: If checked, the application uses a smaller buffer size which in effect updates file transfer progress back to the end user more frequently. Designed to be used during relatively slow connections like dial-up.
MVS Host Type Options
When the Use fully qualified data set names on transfers check box is enabled, BlueZone Secure FTP automatically adds quotes around fully qualified MVS data sets when pasting into the edit box to transfer to the PC.
