Upload
This action Uploads all dropped files to an FTP Server.
Name and Description:
These appear in the Basket Configuration window. It's probably best to use a short Name and save the longer explanation for the Description.
If you have previously configured another Upload Action, its FTP settings are automatically copied to this window.
FTP Settings
Server and Port:
The name and port of your FTP Server.
Userid and Password:
The userid and password to use.
Passive Connection:
When set, File Fiking will open the data connection to the FTP Server. Otherwise the FTP server opens the connection and the firewall may block this incoming connection. If File Viking "hangs" when you press the Test button, try toggling this option.
Proxy
See Proxy Settings.
Protocol:
Make the connection using this protocol. File Viking supports the three most popular FTP Protocols:
- "FTP" - The most common of the three. Your UserID, Password and other data are transferred unencrypted (as plain text).
- "Secure, AUTH/TLS" - Your UserID, Password and other data are transferred encrypted.
- "Secure, SSL" - Your UserID, Password and other data are transferred encrypted.
FTP Directory:
The directory on your FTP Server. Note that you can use {tags} here.
Make Filenames lowercase:
This will upload files without preserving their case.
Enable SYST and FEAT:
When enabled, let File Viking send a SYST and FEAT command to your FTP Server. The results of those commands are used by File Viking to "auto configure" itself based on your Servers capabilities. A few FTP Servers do not like those commands, if the connection misbehaves you can try to clear those options.
Clear Command Channel:
For when FTP Protocol is "Secure" only. When enabled, the Command Channel reverts to unencrypted mode after the connection is established. Your data will still be encrypted.
