FTP Settings are required to logon to the remote server.
FTP SERVER: Enter the IP address or ftp address of your server (eg. ftp.myserver.co.nz). Can be SSL.
USER NAME: Enter your logon name here (eg. myserver)
ACCOUNT: Some FTP Servers require an Account Name to be sent, type your account name here, otherwise leave it blank. Note: Providing an account name causes FTP to login differently, it can cause a failure if it is not required!
PASSWORD: Enter your server access password here. It will be encrypted for security reasons.
PORT: Enter the port to specify which server to connect to. The port for an FTP server is almost always 21.
INITIAL DIRECTORY: Set the FULL directory path that ALL your parsed files will be uploaded to (eg. public_html/fwi). Do not include leading or trailing slashes (/), or spaces in the directory name.
Use PASSIVE MODE: Check this box if you cannot get FWICalc's FTP function to change directories or upload files successfully.
Keep FTP Log: Check this box to enable logging of the last FTP session.
Binary Mode: Check this box to transfer files using binary (byte-for-byte), rather than ASCII (text). Default = False.Note: If you are transferring images, particularly JPEG files, use Binary mode to avoid corruption type errors!
Socket: Select the correct socket (Any, Prefer IPv4, Prefer IPv6, Only IPv4, Only IPv6) that your FTP Server address requires. Default = Only IPv4.
Encryption: Select the required encryption type (None, Tls Auth, Ssl Auth, Implicit). Default = None.
