Schedule tab
Scheduling occurs once you have successfully connect to an FTP server. The scheduled commands are sent when their configured time occurs. If the application is busy due to a file transfer in progress, the command is sent once the application is idle.
Scheduled Event List
The Scheduled Event List is used to list and configure FTP commands to be initiated at specific times for the selected session. A total of 64 commands can be scheduled for each session.
•  New: Click to schedule a new command. A dialog appears asking for the Start Date/Time, Commands to be sent, Command strings to send, Repeat and Repeat Interval, and Repeat Until options. You can save your events by clicking OK or you can cancel your event by clicking Cancel.
♦  Start Date/Time: The date and time in which the scheduled FTP command takes place. The command takes place immediately if the current time is ahead of the scheduled time.
♦  Pick Command: The FTP command which is executed along with an appropriate value, if required.
♦  Repeat: If enabled, the command repeats every X intervals based upon the Repeat Interval.
§  Repeat Interval: The interval in seconds, minutes, hours, or days in which the command is repeated.
§  Repeat Until: The date and time in which the scheduled FTP command stops repeating. Once this data and time occurs the command is removed from the list automatically.
§  Holidays to Skip Scheduled Event: If desired, you can create a list of holidays in which the scheduled event is skipped. You can select from a list of pre-configured holidays or you can create custom holidays to be skipped. You can also select to skip selected days of the week like Saturday and Sunday.
Your options are: add a holiday to be skipped, edit an existing holiday, or remove an existing holiday.
Note
When selecting certain holidays from the drop-down list, the application automatically creates a perpetual skip list. For example, some holidays fall on, and are celebrated on, the same date every year, but other holidays like Columbus Day, are always celebrated on a Monday. When you select Columbus Day, note that Monday and the dates from the 8th through the 14th are automatically selected. In the year 2004, Columbus Day is celebrated on October 11th. Even though the other dates are selected, the only date that the scheduler skips in 2004 is Monday, October 11th. That's because the application checks the selected dates against the current calendar, and the only date that is valid for the year 2004 is Monday, October 11th. In the year 2005, Columbus day is celebrated on Monday, October 10th. The application automatically skips the 10th.
•  Edit: To edit a scheduled FTP command, highlight the command and click Edit. A dialog appears that looks exactly like the New Schedule Event dialog. You can save your modifications by clicking OK or you can cancel your changes by clicking Cancel.
♦  Start Date/Time: The date and time in which the scheduled FTP command takes place. The command takes place immediately if the current time is ahead of the scheduled time.
♦  Pick Command: The FTP command which is executed along with an appropriate value, if required.
♦  Repeat: If enabled, the command repeats every X intervals based upon the Repeat Interval.
§  Repeat Interval: The interval in seconds, minutes, hours, or days in which the command is repeated.
§  Repeat Until: The date and time in which the scheduled FTP command stops repeating. Once this data and time occurs the command is removed from the list automatically.
§  Holidays to Skip Scheduled Event: If desired, you can create a list of holidays in which the scheduled event is skipped. You can select from a list of pre-configured holidays or you can create custom holidays to be skipped. You can also select to skip selected days of the week like Saturday and Sunday.

•  Remove: To remove a scheduled FTP command, highlight the command and click Remove.
•  Move Up & Move Down: You can move a command up or down the list by highlighting the command and click either Move Up or Move Down. The higher in the list the command the higher the precedence it receives in case two commands share the same execution time.
