FTP Output Service preferences

FTP output user options control certain functions of the FTP Client service, which in turn has a direct impact on all FTP output tasks performed by PlanetPress Workflow on a given computer.

Options

• Protocol Options Group
  • Log all Winsock and network messages: Select to have PlanetPress Workflow keep a log of all Winsock and other network messages that occur through the FTP output. These messages are related to jobs sent from PlanetPress Workflow to a server via an FTP output, which in turn uses the FTP output service. Log files are kept in the Log folder, which is located in the PlanetPress Workflow installation folder. They are named ftpdate.log, where date is the current date in yyyymmdd numerical format. Note that changing this option also affects the log displayed in the PlanetPress Workflow Service Console.
  • Interval: Select the interval (in seconds) at which the FTP service is to dispatch jobs from the ftpPut folder to the FTP sites.
  • Back up job on error: Select to move the job file to a local folder ftpPut\error if an error occurs while sending a job via the FTP output. This folder is relative to your install folder.
  • FTP Port: Select the port number that you want PlanetPress Workflow to use for all FTP output tasks. The recommended port is 21 (the default setting).
