Launching BlueZone Secure FTP from a BlueZone Session

BlueZone Secure FTP can be launched directly from any BlueZone display session window by selecting Transfer FTP from the BlueZone menu bar or by clicking the FTP icon found on the BlueZone toolbar.

The letters FTP are highlighted on the menu if BlueZone Secure FTP is installed. If the letters FTP or the BlueZone Secure FTP icon is disabled, then BlueZone Secure FTP is not installed. If BlueZone Secure FTP is not installed, contact your system administrator.

Normally, when Transfer FTP is selected from the BlueZone menu bar, a dialog opens, allowing the end user to select the FTP configuration profile they want to use. To eliminate this step, BlueZone can automatically open an FTP configuration profile if the file name is identical to the configuration profile name of the display sessions.

Example: BlueZone Mainframe Display using a configuration profile named mainframe.zmd automatically opens a FTP configuration profile name mainframe.zft.

Follow the steps below to configure BlueZone FTP to automatically use a profile when launched from a BlueZone display session:
  1. Configure a BlueZone Display emulation session and save the settings to a profile by selecting File Save As from the menu bar.
    This example names the profile mainframe.zmd.
  2. From the menu bar of the BlueZone Display emulator, click Transfer FTP.
    BlueZone FTP launches and you are prompted to enter the FTP host connection information.
  3. Enter the desired FTP host connection information and save the FTP session to a profile by selecting File Save As from the menu bar.
  4. When prompted, type the profile name mainframe.zft.
