4. In the Type box, specify the transfer type, either Binary or Text.
5. Further entries can be made on the FTP Options dialog, accessed by selecting
the Options button. On this dialog, the Username and Password used to log in to
the FTP server may be specified, plus the number of Retries and the Timeout
setting.
6. In the File Names box, specify the Local file name. To search for a file, select the
Browse button. This activates a standard file selection dialog, in a which file can
be searched for and selected.
7. In the File Names box, specify the Remote file name. To search for a file, select
the Browse button. When selected, a connection is made to the FTP server, and
the initial path on the server is set to the appended path on the server address
(/services/technet on the example above).
If no appended path has been specified, the initial path will be whatever path the
FTP defaults to for the Username/Password. If the connection is successfully
made, the initial path appears in the remote file name field, and the directory tree
is displayed in the area below it.
8. The directory tree can be browsed by expanding/contracting the nodes
(representing directories on the FTP host). Directories to which access is denied
are marked with a “!” and the directory name appended with “Access denied.”
9. The remote and local file names are updated as you browse the directory tree;
this process is dependent of the direction of the transfer as follows:
When sending a file: The local file name remains static, but the remote file path
(and name if applicable) changes to that selected on the directory tree. When
uploading a file for the first time, select a directory. The entry for the remote file
name field is populated with the selected directory name and the name of the
selected local file. When uploading a file that has been transferred before, select
the name of the file on the directory tree. The entry for the remote file name
field is populated with the selected directory name and the name of the remote
file.
When receiving a file: The remote file name is set to whatever you select in the
directory tree, and the local file name field is populated with the selected
directory name and the name of the remote file.
