Advanced FTP Site Settings: Files Tab

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

Auto Rename on upload

If selected, uploaded files will be automatically renamed using settings in [Options|Auto Rename].

Auto Rename on download

If selected, downloaded files will be automatically renamed using settings in [Options|Auto Rename].

Rename after transfer is complete

If selected, Auto Rename options will be applied after a file is successfully downloaded or uploaded.

Preserve server file time on downloaded files

If selected, the date and time that each file downloaded from this server will be set to that of the original one on the remote server.

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

Preserve local file time on uploaded files

Set the uploaded remote file's timestamp to the local source file timestamp. In FTP, the MDTM command will be used to set the remote file time (format: MDTM YYYYMMDDHHMMSS filename). The FTP standard RFC959 does not support this feature; as such, your FTP server might not support it. In SFTP, this feature should be fully supported by SSH server.

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

Resolve Links

When unselected (default): if a link is identified, it is tested as to whether or not its name contains an extension. If it does not have an extension, it is assumed to be a folder. If it does have an extension, it is considered a file.

When selected: if a link is identified, TurboFTP attempts to change the directory (cd) to that link. If successful, it's considered a folder. If not successful, it's considered a file.

If this item is selected, but gray, TurboFTP will use the Resolve Links setting specified under [Options|Display] tab.

Transfer with .tmp added to filename and rename to real name after transfer completes

When transferring the file, use the original filename with .tmp appended; upon transfer complete, rename the remote file to the original filename. (Note that when this option is enabled, the Auto Rename options will be ignored, and vice versa.)

Server Time Offset

Here, you can specify the server time offset in hours (negative or positive) if this server is in another time zone. With this information, the date and time of server files will be translated into the local time. The default value is 0, which means this server is assumed to be in the same time zone as you are. The offset can be calculated with: offset = localtime - remotetime.

Download Filenames

This option allows you to have the filename case of downloaded files automatically converted using the specified scheme. If [Use Global Settings] is selected (default), choice in [Options|Transfer|Download Filenames] will be used instead.

Upload Filenames

This option allows you to have the filename case of uploaded files automatically converted using the specified scheme. If [Use Global Settings] is selected (default), choice in [Options|Transfer|Upload Filenames] will be used instead.
