File Transfer
The Resume option enables you to send the remainder of a file if the transfer process
is interrupted, for example if data blocks were missed or the connection was lost.
This saves you having to retransmit the entire file again.
File Transfer Action
Factory default: Default
This specifies what action is to be taken by the receiving end on files that are
transferred.
Selecting Default will use the action specified by the receiving end.
Newer or Longer will cause files to be transferred if they do not exist in the
destination directory and will replace files with the same name if the transfer files are
more recent or contain more data.
CRC Different will cause the source and destination files to be compared and files
will only be transferred if the file lengths or polynomials differ.
Append will cause the contents of the transfer file to be appended to the end of the
file with the same name in the destination directory.
Replace will cause the contents of the transfer file to replace that of the file with the
same name in the destination directory
Newer will cause files to be transferred if they do not exist in the destination
directory and will replace files with the same name if the transfer files are more
recent.
Length Differs will cause files to be transferred if they do not exist in the destination
directory and will replace files with the same name if the file sizes or dates differ.
Absent will cause files to be transferred if they are absent from the destination
directory.
Receive Existing File Only
Factory default: Unselected
When this option is selected, only files with the same name in the destination
directory are transferred.
Change . to / in Filename
Factory default: Unselected
This option enables you to specify that all . (period) characters in the name of a
transfer file are converted to / (forward slash) characters.
Send Full Pathname
Factory default: Unselected
The setting of this option determines whether or not the full pathname associated
with a transfer file is sent.
