Advanced FTP Site Settings

The Advanced FTP Site Settings are organized into the following three categories and are maintained in three separate tabs of the Advanced Site Settings dialog:

• Files
• Connection
• Bookmarks
• Synchronization
• Security

Bookmarks Tab

In this page you can manually add, remove or rename bookmarks to any folder on the FTP server.

Add a Bookmark

Click on the Add button and enter the bookmark label you prefer and the full path of the remote folder. A more convenient way to add a bookmark is using the [Add to Bookmarks] command in the bookmark menu of the Remote Browser Pane.

Remove a Bookmark

To remove an individual bookmark, simply select the bookmark item and click the Remove button

Rename a Bookmark

To change the label of a bookmark, click on that bookmark item and release the mouse button after a short while. The label text will now become editable. To finish the modification, hit the Enter key or click on another bookmark item.

Connection Tab

The Connection tab of the Advanced FTP Site Settings dialog contains the following options:

PASV mode

Use PASV mode for this site.

This item is gray-checked by default, which means global setting in [View|Options|Firewall] will be used.

Server behind firewall that uses NAT

Servers that use NAT could return its internal IP in reply to PASV command. By enabling this option the program uses the server's original IP to open a data connection.

Server does NOT support download resume

Enabling this tells TurboFTP that download resume support is not available with this server, thus it is not necessary to check for its availability each time you log on. Only select this checkbox if you are sure about it, for instance, you download files from this server frequently.

Server does NOT support upload resume

Enabling this tells TurboFTP that upload resume support is not available with this server, thus it is not necessary to check for its availability each time you log on. Only select this checkbox if you are sure about it, for instance, you upload files to this server frequently.

Use APPE to resume uploads

Some servers allow resuming uploads using an FTP command called APPE (append). Enabling this option allows you to resume broken uploads on such servers other than using REST as the normal approach.

This item is gray-checked by default, which means global setting in [View|Options|Advanced Con't] will be used.

Enable Anti-Idle

Select this to enable anti-idle after you have logged into this FTP site.

This item is gray-checked by default, which means global setting in [View|Options|Advanced] will be used.

Enable Auto Reconnect

This item is gray-checked by default, which means global setting in [View|Options|Advanced Con't] will be used.

Cache remote directory

This option allows you to specify whether to cache remote directory listings during an FTP session.

This item is gray-checked by default, which means global setting in [View|Options|Advanced Con't] will be used.

Show hidden files

Select this to show hidden files on remote server.

This item is gray-checked by default, which means global setting in [View|Options|Advanced Con't] will be used.

Use MODE Z for data transfer

This feature only works when the FTP server supports MODE Z too. When enabled, TurboFTP issues a command 'MODE Z' upon logon and all subsequent data transfers will be compressed at source side and decompressed at destination side on the fly, thus saving network bandwidth.

Disable FEAT at logon

Enable this option if the FTP server doesn't allow or recognize FEAT command.

Account

If the FTP server you are connecting requires an additional account name to log in, you can use this field to specify it (in this case you must have one). Leave it blank if you don't need such an account name to log in.

Commands to be sent after login

In this text box you can specify your self-defined commands to send after logon. Place each command on a separate line. Leave it empty if you don't have any self-defined command to send.
