BlueZone Secure FTP has several miscellaneous options that
can be set.
- Miscellaneous Options
Packet Size: Define the connection speed
and the transfer progress feedback for the FTP connection. The smallest
packet sizes are used for a slow connections (dial-up) and the largest
packet size are used for super fast connections (Gigabit LAN). Use
the default size (128K) for regular connection speeds.
Increasing
the packet sizes increases the speed of the transfers, but it may
lead to transfer timeouts. If using the Enable Command
Timeout option and you start getting timeouts you can
increase the timeout amount or decrease the packet size.
- Enable Passive Mode: Select to use passive
mode for file transfers and LIST commands. This option is usually
required in order for FTP data to pass through firewalls.
- Prompt for destination name before file transfer: Select to prompt for
destination file name before a file transfer.
- Always prompt while playing transfer list: When
Prompt for destination name before file transfer is
enabled, select Always prompt while playing transfer list
to force a prompt for the destination filename when playing a BlueZone Transfer
List, even if a destination filename is in a STOR/RETR command. If
Always prompt while playing transfer list is disabled
and the destination filename is set in the BlueZone Transfer List, BlueZone
Secure FTP will not prompt for the destination filename. If no destination
filename has been set in the BlueZone Transfer List, BlueZone Secure FTP will
prompt for the destination filename.
- Place folders on top when sorting: Select
to sort folder first then sort files.
- Enable Keep Alive Timer (Minutes): Select
to use the keep alive timer to keep the FTP connection open while
you are away from your computer.
- Overwrite LIST Command with: Select to
overwrite the standard LIST command with a server specific command
(example: DIR, or LS).
Use directory prefix on Uploads: If
selected, each upload has the directory prefix automatically appended
to the STOR command. This option is used for certain FTP hosts that
do not allow clients to change into the upload directory.
- Enable Command Timeout (Seconds): Sets
the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a success or failure response
to come back from the FTP server.
- Disable automatic LIST after connect and uploads:
Select 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.
- Limit FTP server features to RFC959:
Select to limit the FTP server features to the original RFC959 FTP
specification.
- 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.
