General Options
The General tab of the Options dialog contains the following options:
Run this program when Windows starts
If enabled, TurboFTP will be automatically launched when Windows starts. Together with this option you might want to use [Display | Always minimize to system tray] as well.
Store program settings in TurboFTP.ini
If checked, program settings will be stored in turboftp.ini in the install folder, otherwise stored in system registry. If you want to use you own copy of turboftp.ini make sure you copy it to the TurboFTP install folder when TurboFTP is NOT running.
Initial Local Folder
You can specify which initial local folder to be displayed at the Local Browser Pane when TurboFTP is started. This will be applied to all sites in the FTP Site Address Book if not otherwise specified.
Address Book path
Specify here where to find the Address Book file (addrbk.dat). On Win2K/XP it is defaulted to $WinDrive:\Documents and Settings\Your UserID\Application Data\TurboFTP, where $WinDrive is the logical drive on which Windows is installed.
Text File Viewer
Here you can specify application to open text files. If left empty, the associated application of your windows system will be launched. The default will be notepad.exe.
E-mail Address
You can specify whatever email address you would like to use for an anonymous login.
Start With
You can choose one of three types of action at the program's startup:
Do nothing
Launch Quick Connect dialog
Connection Wizard
Launch FTP Site Address Book
Log file name
Here you can specify the file path of the log file. All messages in the Log Window will be logged in this file with a time stamped added at the beginning of each message. Check the [Log to file] check box below to enable this feature. Enable [Max Log File Size] and provide a maximum size in MBytes to have TurboFTP back up the old log file when its size exceeds [Max Log File Size] and start the logging with a new file (file name unchanged).
Since TurboFTP will write on the disk file whenever taking an FTP action and thus will slow down the speed, it is recommended to have this feature enabled only when necessary.
You can click on the View button on the right side to open the current log file with your preferred [Text File Viewer].
Clear...
You can clear Local Bookmarks, Quick Connect History, and Recently Visited List by clicking on the corresponding button.
Enable password protect
When enabled, user will be required to enter a password to open TurboFTP GUI program. Press the [Set Password] button to set password.
