Connection Settings
These settings apply to all profiles.
Performance
File Manager can transfer one file at a time or can transfer multiple files simultaneously. There are two modes of transfer for File Manager.
-
Use 1 transfer channel when connecting to an FTP account. File Manager will transfer one file at a time and during transfer exploring of FTP folder side is disabled.
-
Use Maximum transfer channels allowed by the FTP account. File Manager would transfer multiple files at a time. In this option during transfer, exploring of FTP sides is possible.
On Connection Failure
After sending a command, Auto FTP Manager waits for a period of time called the Timeout period before determining that the command will not complete successfully and would abort the command. Retries apply to attempts to log into the FTP server: If a command fails after the Timeout period then how many times to try, and how long to wait between tries. The Retry settings are especially important if you are connecting to a busy FTP server, because if all connections are in use, multiple retries might be needed to finally make a connection. Use Retry login x time (s) before aborting to specify how many times you want to retry login if the login fails. In addition specify with x sec (s)delay between retries.
Use Give Server x minute(s) to specify how many minutes to wait before aborting.
Keep alive settings
Many FTP servers will automatically disconnect if no commands are sent for too long. The Keep Alive function prevents disconnection by sending commands (that don't do anything) regularly. To allow keep alive you can check Enable keep alive option. Specify keep alive interval with the option Keep Alive interval x sec (s).
To choose a command to be sent select one of the following:
- NOOP (No Operation - Recommended)
- PWD (Present Working Directory)
Note: Some FTP servers do not support the NOOP command and can close down the connection even after they receive the NOOP FTP command regularly. For such FTP servers, it is recommended to use the PWD command for Keep Alive.
