FTP Settings tab (Source Bulk Configuration)

Use this tab to simultaneously configure multiple FTP sources. Documents received by this source will be routed to Output Manager.

You can access this tab when you create or configure multiple FTP sources.

Click in a cell to configure the value for a setting in a source.

  • Name column — Specifies the name of the FTP source.
  • FTP Server column — Specifies the FTP server, which can be an FTP or IP address.
  • Port column — Specifies the host's port number. The port number must be from 1 through 65536. The default value is 21.
  • Use Passive Mode column — 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. Clearing the check box will choose active mode, where the host creates a separate or new session to transfer data in response to a request from the client.
  • User Name column — Specifies the user name that will be used when logging on to the host account. If the host account does not require a user name, you can leave this cell blank.
  • Password column — Specifies the user password that will be used when logging in to the account. If the account does not require a password, you can leave this cell blank.
  • FTP Folder column — Specifies the location on the host from which the files will be retrieved when receiving files. You must type the entire path of the folder or the path relative to the FTP user home directory (for example, if your home directory is at \FTP\UserName, you can specify either \FTP\UserName\MySourceFiles or \MySourceFiles).
  • Scan Subfolders column — Determines if you want to scan any subfolders of the specified FTP folder.
  • Remove Subfolders column — Determines if you want to delete the subfolders of the FTP folder, after the files are transferred into Output Manager.
  • Interval (sec) column — Specifies the time interval for checking the host for documents. The default value is 60 seconds.
  • Temp Folder column — Specifies the location files are transferred into during the FTP session. When the session is complete they are put in the file store.
