Command Menu

The command menu includes the commands to launch FTP actions.

Start Transfer

This menu item will be enabled when the Transfer Queue is not empty. Use this command to start transferring the items in the queue. All file transfer has to be launched with this command.

Transfer Type

Three options for transfer type are provided. They are ASC II, Binary, and Auto.

Unless you know very clearly what different FTP transfer modes mean, we recommend that you always use the Auto option and let TurboFTP handle the transfer mode when transferring files.

Custom Command

With this command, you can enter in a popup dialog whatever command you want to execute on the connected FTP server. The command is then sent to the server, and the result can be seen in the Log Window. To use this option, you have to be familiar with FTP commands.

Change Login Password

This will pop out a dialog that allows you to change your login password of the currently connected FTP server. Not all FTP servers support this feature.

SSH Fingerprint - View Cached Fingerprints

View cached SSH server public key fingerprints. The command opens the fingerprint cache data file sshhost.ini in a text editor, whereby you can view as well as delete or add fingerprint entries.

SSH Fingerprint - Flush SSH Fingerprint Cache

Flush SSH server public key fingerprints.

Flush SSL Certificate Cache

TurboFTP caches accepted (always) certificates of SSL/TLS based secure FTP servers. This command flushes all the cache of accepted certificates. You will be asked whether or not to accept the certificate when you connect to any of these servers again.

Hang up Now

Hang up the active RAS connection now.

Verify Server Certificate

Ask for user permission by presenting SSL/TLS server certificate or SSH host key before continuing the login process.

Enable FIPS 140-2 mode

Toggle FIPS 140-2 mode, which will take effect after the program restarts.

Auto Shutdown

TurboFTP will automatically shut down the computer upon transfer completion when you enable this option. If you are using Windows XP and above, this requires that you have the privilege to shut down the system.

Auto Hangup

When you enable it, TurboFTP will automatically disconnect from the FTP site and hang up all modem connections upon transfer completion.
