FTP settings tab (Destination Configuration)

Use this tab to configure an FTP destination.

Documents routed to an FTP destination will be sent to a specified FTP server. You can access this tab when you create or configure an FTP destination.

You can configure a default value and a dynamic override for each option on this tab. Default values are used to manage the documents as they are being sent to the destination. You can choose to dynamically override the default values using document properties and functions.

  • To insert document properties, right-click in the desired override box and click Insert Document Property. A menu containing all of the available properties displays. You can select a property from the list or type the property name. If a property is selected and it contains a value, that value is processed instead of the default value.
  • To insert functions, right-click in the box, click Insert Function, and choose the appropriate function.

User name Specifies the user name that will be used when logging on to the host. If the host does not require a user name, you can leave this box blank.

Use passive mode Determines if the host mode will be passive or active. Selecting the check box selects passive mode, where the client creates a session to receive data.
