Options Tab

Under the options tab, detailed session options can be set. In most cases, users are not required to set options.

Host Type
Select the type of remote computer operating system. Select [Auto Detect] if the remote computer type is unknown.

Use UTF-8 Encoding
Communicate with a remote computer using UTF-8 character strings. This option must be selected when the remote computer uses UTF-8 character strings and the remote computer files hold character strings encoded in UTF-8.

Send Keep Alive Messages
Send keep alive messages to the remote computer. This function is useful when a connection is unexpectedly closed while the connection is idle. In some network environments, the gateway or firewall system forces a disconnection if data transfer is not made for a defined period of time.

Auto-refresh remote folder listing
Automatically refreshes the remote folder list after the user defined period of time (minutes).

Use Passive Mode
Connect with the remote computer in passive mode for file transfers. For details, see 'Connection in Passive Mode'. This option is not necessary when an SFTP connection is selected.

Transfer Type
Designate the type of file transfer in this session. For details, See 'Set Transfer Types'.

Multiple Transfer
Designate the number of files to be transferred simultaneously. To use this function, the server must support a multiple connection.

Use Main Connection Only
Use this option when the server allows for only a single connection. Since the main connection is used for file transfers, files can be transferred one by one. During file transfers, functions such as file list refreshing cannot be used. This option is not necessary when an SFTP connection is selected.

Local Folder
Designate a folder to be displayed in the local folder window when a connection succeeds.

Remote Folder
Designate a folder to be displayed in the remote folder window when a connection succeeds.
