FTP settings tab (Destination Configuration)

Use this tab to configure an FTP destination.

Documents routed to an FTP destination will be sent to a specified FTP server. You can access this tab when you create or configure an FTP destination.

You can configure a default value and a dynamic override for each option on this tab. Default values are used to manage the documents as they are being sent to the destination. You can choose to dynamically override the default values using document properties and functions.

To insert document properties, right-click in the desired override box and click Insert Document Property. A menu containing all of the available properties displays. You can select a property from the list or type the property name. If a property is selected and it contains a value, that value is processed instead of the default value.
To insert functions, right-click in the box, click Insert Function, and choose the appropriate function.

Port	Specifies the host's port number. The port number must be from 1 through 65536. The default value is 21.
User name	Specifies the user name that will be used when logging on to the host. If the host does not require a user name, you can leave this box blank.

Confirm password	Confirms the password entered in the Password box.
Target folder	Specifies the location on the host where the files will be placed. 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\MyDestFiles or \MyDestFiles).
Use passive mode	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.
