Specifying FTP options

Use the FTP tab to specify FTP publishing options. You have the ability to immediately FTP the published title to a Web server. Use the controls on this tab to specify the following:

FTP Title To Host

Select this to enable the Host, Profile, User ID, Password, and Initial Remote Folder fields.

Profile Specify the name of the profile for saving the current FTP settings. Use the list to select from different profiles. To create a new profile or change the current profile name, click Save.

Host

Specify the host name of your Web server. For example, www.example.com.

User ID

Specify the user ID that can access the Web server.

Password

Specify the password that corresponds with the user ID to access the Web server.

Initial Remote Folder

If you are required to publish to a specific directory, specify the directory in this field. For example, if you specify MyDirectory, your title will be published to www.example.com/MyDirectory.

You can also create a new directory by typing in the name of the directory you want to create in this field.

Use FTP Proxy

If you need to connect to your Web server through a proxy or if you are required to go through a firewall to access your Web server, you can specify proxy information for transferring your title. Select this to enable the FTP Proxy Host, Port, and Login to Firewall fields.

Host

Specify the host name of your FTP Proxy server.

Port

Specify the port number for the FTP Proxy server.

Login to Firewall

Select this to enable the User ID and Password fields for logging into a firewall.

User ID

Specify the user ID that can access the firewall.

Password Specify the password that corresponds with the user ID to access your firewall.
Transfer Mode

Specify the mode for transferring the published title as either Active Mode or Passive Mode. Select Passive Mode for transferring to a server that is not behind a network firewall and the client is behind a network firewall. Select Active Mode for transferring to a server that is behind a network firewall and the client is not behind a network firewall. Consult your network administrator for more information. In most cases, select Passive Mode since your server is most likely behind a network firework.

Transfer Mode is disabled if you opt to use the SFTP protocol.
