Main Window
File Dog Events Setup Form View Window

File Dog's form view setup window (also referred to as the "main" window)  is the starting point for File Dog's  functions, and is the first interactive window you see when you start File  Dog.

Once you become familiar with the functions on this window, you can use  the list view window to setup or edit events.

For additional help setting up events check the "Setting Up Events" tutorial  that you can access from the "Tutorials" list on the "Help" menu.

SysInfo


Opens the events list view window.


Advanced

Opens the Advanced events functions window.


Close Events Setup

Closes events setup.


Registration Info

Opens the registration section of the help file so you can learn about the  benefits of registering File Dog.  Not visible on registered software.


Register

Opens a small window where you can register this copy of File Dog.  First,  you must obtain a valid serial number and unlock key from Edge Publishing or one of  its authorized resellers.  Not visible on registered software.


New Event

Clears the File Name box and sets other event parameters to their default  values.  You can then enter new event information.


Open Event

Opens the currently highligted event from the event list.   When you open the event, the event information will display in the Events Setup fields.   You would most likely do this to check or change event parameters.


Save Event

Saves the information from the currently displayed event to the events list.   All saved events will occur when  their date/time is reached.


Delete Event

Deletes the currently highligted event(s) from the event list.   The event is permanently removed.


Copy

Copies currently selected (highlighted) text to Windows clipboard.   You might use this to copy a server address if you want to retrieve several  files from the same server.  Once in the clipboard the text can be pasted  with the paste function.


Paste

Pastes text from Windows clipboard to the currently selected  destination.  This makes entering Remote file information for events very easy.   Most web browsers will let you save the file target to the clipboard  if you click on the RIGHT mouse button while the mouse  pointer is over the target file.  In most cases the target file will show  as blue hypertext on a web page.  Just click to copy it, then use this  paste function to put it in the Remote Address box.


The Clipboard is a temporary storage area used by Windows to hold copied text  or other data.  Anytime you use a "copy" function in a Windows program the  clipboard is used.  The primary use of the clipboard with File Dog is to  store, and let you easily paste, file targets  to the Remote box when you setup an event.


Event Window

Displays the Events window which shows only active events.  Some event parameters are set  on that window.


Configure

The configure menu option has sub-menu selections for configuring  File Dog to the settings you want.  Select a sub-menu item to open a  window for configuring that item.


Default Folder

Opens the folder selection window window so you can set a default  folder for storing retrieved files.  Future events created in form view  will initialize with the default folder.


Default Event Time

Opens a window where you can enter a default event time.  Future events created in form view  will initialize with the default folder.  The hours between  1:00AM and 7:00AM are usually good because internet traffic is light.


Overwrite

Opens a window describing and letting you select an overwrite option if a  "Once" event finds a file with the same filename on your PC.


Dialer Setup

Opens a window where you setup File Dog's dialer information.  Use of File  Dog's dialer is optional, but if you elect to use it then it must be  configured properly.


FTP Module

Activates File Dog's FTP (File Transfer Protocol) module.  Normally this  will open the Host Connections window where you enter or select  host logon information.  But, if you have a FTP session already open, then this  will take you directly to the Transfer window.


Zip Module

Activates File Dog's Zip Compression module.  The zip module  can be used to unzip "Zip" format files, or to create Zip format archives.   Many of the files available on the internet are in Zip archives.


Reset Messages

Some File Dog messages can be turned off by selecting "Don't Show This Again"  check boxes.  If you want to re-display these messages select this menu item.


Activity Log

Opens File Dog's Activity Log so you can view a list of activities  that have occurred.

About File Dog

Displays the version of File Dog you are using, and provides access to  Windows' system information.


Remote

Enter the full file target.  File Dog can retrieve either  File Transfer Protocol (ftp://) or  HyperText Transfer Protocol (http://) files.  A valid FTP file address looks  like this: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/public/deskapps/excel/update.zip.  A valid HTTP  address looks like this:  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/update.zip.   You can type in the address with the keyboard, but you may find it easier  to use the paste function with your web browser or other  programs.  See the "Setting Up Events" tutorial or use the "Wizard" for more help.

File Dog can send files to FTP servers where you have appropriate permission.   Enter the target without a filename for Send or Mirror events.

To retrieve all files from a FTP directory insert *.* in place of the filename  in the target:target.  For example, if you enter:  "ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/public/deskapps/excel/*.*" then ALL files from  the "excel" remote directory will be transferred to the destination folder  during a fetch event.  To include sub-directories, select that option on  the "Advanced" window.

If you are setting up a Send or Mirror event, this box should contain the  remote target without the final slash and filename.

Note:

The "wild card" function  works only with FTP servers, and will not  work with HTTP servers.  To retrieve linked files from a www page, go to  the "Advanced" window and check the "Fetch Links" check box.


Date and Time

Displays the current date and time according to your PC's system clock.


Event Type

Select the type of event you want to setup.  See the "Setting Up Events"  tutorial for more help.


Time

Displays the time that the current event will occur.  You can change  the time to any valid time by typing over the existing time.  The time format  you enter is flexible: 5:00am, 05:00, 5am, will all set the event time to  five-o'clock AM.


Date

Displays the date that the current event will occur.  You can change  the date to any valid date by typing over the existing date.  The date format  you enter is flexible: 4/1/97, Apr. 1, 1997, or Apr 1 will all set the event  date to April 1st, 1997.  Leave the date blank to deactivate an event.


Frequency

Press the arrow next to the frequency box to display a list of event  frequencies.  Then select the frequency for the current event.  If the  frequency is "Once" the event will be deleted after it  occurs.  If  the frequency is any other, then the event will reschedule itself after the  event occurs, and it will recur at the selected interval.


Local Folder

Use this to select the local folder.  Select your default folder or select  "Specify" to use a different folder.  If you select "Specify" the  Folder Selection window will open for you to select the  local folder.  When finished, the current folder path and name will appear in the  "Local" box.

If you want to use the remote path in addition to the local folder (for a  Fetch event) check the  Remote Path check box.

If this is a Send event, then this box should also include the filename  or a wildcard .

If this is a Run event, this box should contain the complete path and  filename of the program to run, and any required switches.


Remote Login Information

Displays the User ID and Password for a remote server.  If the event uses  http protocol you only need entries if the file requires login access.  If you  are using anonymous FTP then the User ID must be "anonymous" and the  password a valid one (just leave them at their default values).  If you are  using non-anonymous ftp (where you have a personal account on a ftp server)  then you must enter the correct User ID and Password.


FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a widely used standard for transferring files  across the internet.  Anonymous FTP, the most common, refers to a file server where anybody  can login and retrieve files.  Non-anonymous FTP means users must have a  valid user I.D. and password to login and retrieve files.


HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is a widely used standard for transferring  files across the internet.  This is the protocol used to transfer web  pages with browsers, but it can be used to transfer other file types too.


Use File Dog's Dialer

If this is checked File Dog will use its internal dialer  to connect to the internet for ALL automated events  (if you use a dialup connection).  File Dog's  dialer will automatically connect, and disconnect when the event is finished.

Note:

If you select this option, and another dialer is running (you are already  connected to the internet) when an event is scheduled, the event may not  work.  You can use both File Dog's and another dialer together; just be  sure the other dialer is NOT in use when an event is scheduled.


Local

Displays the local path, folder (or filename) for the current event.   This can be changed by typing in a valid folder path and name, or by  using the Local Folder options box.

F1

Displays context-sensitive help for the selected item.


Events Setup - Form View

The Form view window is the starting point for File Dog events.  All events  are setup and modified from this window or the list view  for this window.

This window has complete context sensitive help.  When the window is active,  position your  mouse pointer over the area in question and press the F1 key, or use the  "What's This" help button on the tool bar.


Remote Path

If this is checked the remote path will be used to store the retrieved  file(s) on your PC.  For example if you were to download the file  "ftp.microsoft.com/public/deskapps/excel/update.exe" and you set the destination  folder as "c:\microsoft" then, if this is checked, the file would be stored  on your PC as "c:\microsoft\public\deskapps\excel\update.exe".  You need  only create the destination folder (microsoft) before the event.  All other  sub-folders will be created by File Dog if they do not exist.

Note:

This function works only with FTP files.


New Only

If this is checked, only files with file dates more recent than the date  in the date box will  be transferred.  The new only function only works on files that are  already in the destination folder, so the first time you transfer,  and any files added to source directory will be always be transferred regardless of their date.

Note:

This function is predicated on remote FTP servers that list files with  English language dates in a standard UNIX type format.  If File Dog  cannot locate a date on the remote file listing, the file WILL be  transferred.

Note:

This function works only with FTP.


If the New Only option is checked, this is used to check  for new files before a remote connection is made.  If there are no new  files in the event group, then no action will be taken for this event  (the event will be rescheduled using the event frequency you have selected).

Note:

This function works only for SEND and MIRROR (where the Master directory is "Local") events.


Overwrite Existing File Check Box

Check this to overwrite an existing file if one is found during  a RECURRING event.  The overwrite option for all "Once" events is set  from the Tools menu, Configure options.  If this is not checked (you do not  want to overwrite) and a file with the same name is found in the destination  folder during an event, then the current date and time will be added  to the new file.


Events Setup - List View

The List view window can be used to setup events if you are comfortable  with the event parameters.  Setting up events with list view is fast and  easy, but you need to understand what the event parameters are, and the  acceptable entries for them.  If you are an inexperienced File Dog user  you probably should use the Form view to setup events.

All events are setup and modified from this window or the form view  window.

This window has context sensitive help, but the help on the form view  window is more thorough.  Position your  mouse pointer over the area in question and press the F1 key, or use the  "What's This" help button on the tool bar.


The grid lists all events.  You can edit cells, cut-and-paste, copy  from the clipboard, add rows, and perform other editing functions.  When  you click on "Save" or "Activate" the grid is checked for potential errors,  and you are notified if any are found.  If the first column (Date) of a  grid row is empty, the event is NOT checked for errors or saved.


Advanced

Opens the Advanced options window where additional event settings  are made.


Advanced Event Setup

The Advanced window lets you control File Dog events with more detail.   You can elect to move files during an event (move means files are copied  and then deleted from the source).  You can set event file filters.  You  can create a list of files to send.  And, if you use a Mirror event you  must set the "Master" directory from this window.

This window has complete context sensitive help.  When the window is in use,  position your  mouse pointer over the area in question and press the F1 key, or use the  "What's This" help button on the title bar.


File Filter

Opens the filter selection window where you select or create filters  for events.  Filters are created by selecting file patterns to include  and exclude during file transfers.


Displays the file filter identifier for the open event if one has been set.


File List

Opens another window where you select or create a group of files  files for a send event.


Displays the file list identifier if one has been set.


Mirror Master Directory

Used only for a Mirror event.  Select the source directory.  During the  mirror event the files from the source directory (master) will be copied  to the non-master.  Also, if files exist in the non-master that are not  in the master, they will be deleted.  If the sub-directories check is  selected too,  the same process will occur for all sub-directories.


Sub-Directories Check Box

Check this to include sub-directories for for FTP events.  All files, from  the source directory and ALL sub-directories of the event source directory  will be transferred.  Only the initial destination directory needs to  exist; all destination sub-directories will be created if  they do not exist.

Note: If the current event is HTTP, then this item changes to "Fetch Links" and  is used to retreive the links on the remote file.


E-mail On Fail Check Box

Check this to have File Dog send e-mail to the specified addresses  if the event fails.


E-mail On Success Check Box

Check this to have File Dog send e-mail to the specified addresses  when the event succeeds.


OK button

Closes the Advanced parameters window.


The filter window is used to select or create file filters for use with  events.  Filters either include ONLY specified files, or exclude  specified types of files based on the filename pattern.

Use this window to select file filter patterns to either  include or exclude for events.  Once you have created a filter id, and  associated filter patterns with it, you can use that filter on any number  of events.

This window has complete context sensitive help.  Position your  mouse pointer over the area in question and press the F1 key, or use the  "What's This" help button on the title bar.

Filters can be used for either FTP events, or HTTP events where the "Fetch  Links" option is selected.


Filter I. D.

Press the down arrow to see the list of current filer I.D.'s then select  one by clicking on it.


Include List

Displays the current list of filename patterns that will be  included in the  current event.  If any entries are in this list ONLY files with a listed  pattern will be included in the event.


Exclude List

Displays the current list of filename patterns that will be excluded in the  current event.


OK button

Closes the Filter window and saves the current filter information.


New button

Opens an input box where you can create a new 3-character filter identifier.


Save button

Saves the current filter identifier with the file extensions shown in the  list boxes.


Delete button

Deletes the currently displayed filter.


Closes the filter selection window without saving any changes.


Add to List

Enter a file pattern in the box, then click on  Include or Exclude to add it to the list.


File Dog supports the following pattern characters:

Asterisk "*".

Question Mark "?".

Pound Sign "#".

Character List "[xxx]".


The asterisk  is used to match files that have any number of characters  of any type.  Some examples:

*.txt

This will match all files that have a ".txt" extension.   "doc.txt", "notes.txt",  and "long_file_name.txt" would match.


The question mark (?) is used to match any one alpha.  Some examples:

???.txt

This will match files with three characters preceding a ".txt" extension.

These are matches:  "abs.txt",  "doc.txt", "zzz.txt".

These are NOT matches: "1a23.txt", "abcd.txt", "abc.doc".


The pound sign (#) is used to match one numeric character.  Some examples:

a##.txt

This will match files that start with "a" and then have two numeric characters  followed by a ".txt" extension.

These are matches:  "a23.txt", "a01.txt".

These are NOT matches:  "b23.txt",  "01.txt", "a1234.txt".


Enclose a list of characters in side brackets.  To include only characters  "a", "b", and "c" use this: [abc].  A match will occur, and the file will  be included in the event if the filename contains any of the three characters.

An exclamation point (!) at the beginning of charlist means that a match is  made if any character except the ones in charlist is found in filename.  When  used outside brackets, the exclamation point matches itself.  Like this [!abc].

In addition to a simple list of characters enclosed in brackets, charlist  can specify a range of characters by using a hyphen (-) to separate the  upper and lower bounds of the range.  For example, [A-Z] in pattern results  in a match if the corresponding character position in string contains any  of the uppercase letters in the range A through Z.  Multiple ranges are  included within the brackets without any delimiters.


Remove button

Press this to remove a selected file pattern from either list.


The File List window is used to select or create file lists for use with  a Send event.  File lists can be created from multiple folders and/or  drives on your PC.  Rather than send a specific folder; when using a list  the entire list is sent.

This window has complete context sensitive help.  Position your  mouse pointer over the area in question and press the F1 key, or use the  "What's This" help button on the title bar.


File Lists

Displays the names of existing file lists.  Select a list by clicking on it.


Open button

Opens another window with the files from the currently selected list  displayed.


New button

Opens an input box where you create a new list name, then opens the  "Select Files" window where you create the list.


OK button

Closes the list selection window and associates the selected list with the  currently open event if an event is open.


Cancel button

Closes the list selection window.  No changes are saved.


Delete button

Deletes the currently selected list.

File Information Window

Click on the area or control you need help with.


File Information Box

Displays detailed file information.  When local files are displayed, this  box shows the full path and filename, date last changed, file size, and  file attributes.  When remote files are displayed, the files  are displayed in a UNIX format.


Print Button

Opens MS Windows Notepad file editor so you can print the current list.


Cancel Button

Closes this window.


Activity Log Window

File Dog's activity log keeps track of important activity so you don't  have to.  Transfers, file processes, event information, errors,  and other important activity are written to the log.  There's no need to  catalog events, it's all done for you.

Click on the area or control you need help with.


Activity Log Entries

Displays all activity that has been written to the activity log.  Sort order  is from most recent (top) to oldest (bottom).  The sort can be changed with  the Reverse Sort button.  All transfer,  delete, and rename activities are written to the log.  Errors that occur  during events are recorded too.


Reverse Sort Button

Reverses the sort order of the entries in the activity log.  This can be useful  when deciding the best date to use when removing entries from  the activity log.


Remove Button

Pressing this button displays another window where you select how you want  to remove entries from your log.  You can either delete log entries, or you  can copy them to another file.  You also have the option (by checking the  Automatically Maintain box) of letting File Dog maintain  the activity log length for you.

Information explaining your remove log entry options.


Error Codes

Because of the multi-computer environment, and reliance on communications systems outside of the software's control, you will occasionally experience errors when using File Dog.  File Dog is designed to handle most errors so you can continue running.  If you consistently get the same error you can check the error code to diagnose and resolve the problem.

   HTTP Error Codes

   FTP Error Codes

   Dialer Error Codes


HTTP Errors

HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is one standard used to transfer files  between your computer and a host computer(s).  HTTP is widely used for  internet world-wide-web file transfers, and is very reliable.  But, because you are communicating with a remote computer via public communications circuits, sometimes errors occur.

In many cases the error is temporary, and you can simply press "Cancel" in the error box window and continue using File Dog.  If problems persist,  check the error code below.  Click on green error codes to help resolve the error.

22401  	Invalid handle to client

22402	Invalid parameter passed to function

22403	Unable to initialize library

22430	Method not supported by server

22431	Invalid response from gateway

22432	Server is unavailable

22433	Server gateway timeout

22434	Unexpected error returned from server


HTTP Error 22401

Occurs when proxy information is incorrect or the file target cannot be located.   Sometimes this error occurs when a busy signal or other problem prevents  the dialer from connecting.


HTTP Error 22405

The hostname (server) portion of the target cannot be found on the  internet.  Check to ensure that your target address is correct, then try  again.


HTTP Error 22406

File Dog cannot communicate properly with your winsock file.  Make sure you  have the file "winsock.dll" in your "windows" folder, and that it is  compatible with your TCP/IP (internet) protocol stack.  Get help from your  internet service provider, or other professional if you don't understand  what this means.


HTTP Error 22407

The remote server has been located, but the connection failed.  Often this is  a temporary situation, and trying later will work.  If the problem persists  check the target.


HTTP Error 22413

File Dog is cannot receive data from your winsock.  This may be temporary, but  if it persists then your winsock file may not be compatible.  File Dog works  with most popular winsock files.


HTTP Error 22414

File Dog is cannot send data to your winsock.  This may be temporary, but  if it persists then your winsock file may not be compatible.  File Dog works  with most popular winsock files.


HTTP Error 22418

The file you are trying to retrieve has been moved.  Get the new  target for the file, and change the fetch event to include the  new target.


HTTP Error 22420

The server does not understand what you want.  Most likely the target  is incorrect.  Check it, and change as necessary.


HTTP Error 22421

You do not have appropriate permission to retrieve the file.  Check with  the server operator if you think this is incorrect.


HTTP Error 22423

You do not have appropriate permission to retrieve the file.  Check with  the server operator if you think this is incorrect.


HTTP Error 22424

The file you are trying to retrieve is not there.  Check the target  and change it to reflect the correct address.


HTTP Error 22428

The file you are trying to retrieve has been removed, and is not at another  location.


HTTP Error 22429

The server experienced an error.  Usually this is a temporary condition.   Try later.


HTTP Error 22432

The server is inoperational.  Usually this is a temporary condition.   Try later.


HTTP Error 22433

It took too long to connect to the server, so it closed the connection.   Often this is a condition of an overloaded server, or it may be a temporary  outage.  Try again later.


HTTP Error 22434

The server experienced an error unrelated to your connection.  Usually this  is a temporary problem, and you can try again immediately.


FTP Errors

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is one standard used to transfer files between your computer and a host computer(s).  FTP is widely used for internet file transfers, and is very reliable.  But, because you are communicating with a remote computer via public communications circuits, sometimes errors occur.

In many cases the error is temporary, and you can simply press "Cancel" in the error box window and continue using File Dog.  If problems persist,  check the error code below.  Click on green error codes to help resolve the error.

FTP Error 22036

The local file you are trying to access has an illegal file or folder name.


FTP Error 22047

You attempted transfer to or access files on a host that you are not currently connected to, or do not have permission to access.  This will  occur when you attempt to connect to  a personal (non-anonymous) FTP site with incorrect login  information.  Sometimes this error will  occur when the server is having internal problems, and you may have to  try later.


FTP Error 22048

You must have an account setup with this host before you can transfer files to it.  Contact the host service provider.


FTP Error 22049

You have specified a file or directory on the remote host that cannot be located or you do not have permission to alter (delete or move) it.  If you  try to delete a remote folder that is not empty this error occurs.  Or you  are trying to send files to a host that does not accept incoming files.  At times this error will occur when a transfer is  interrupted.


FTP Error 22050

Your account on your host does not have enough storage space allotted to store the files you are transferring.  Delete some files on your host, or contact your host service provider to get more storage space.


FTP Error 22051

Your host will not accept the filename you are trying to transfer.  Many  hosts will not accept files with blank spaces between words.  Rename the file, and remove the blank spaces or replace them with underscores (_).


Dialer Errors

If you use File Dog's internal dialer to connect to the internet you will  occasionally experience errors when dialing to connect.  File dog event are  designed to retry dialing five times (at one minute intervals) if an error  occurs.  If it fails all five times a dialing error  is written to the log.

Occasional errors are normal.  If errors persist you can diagnose the  problem with the following codes and their descriptions.

Dialer Error 25602

The port was already open when the dialer tried to use it.  If you are  using another connection to the internet make sure it is closed when  File Dog events are scheduled.


Events Window

The Events window shows the events that are scheduled, and causes the event  to run when your current system time is the same as an event time.  You can  minimize the event window to the system tray.

When a event runs File Dog will attempt to connect to your host.  If a busy  busy signal or other dialing problem occurs it will try to connect five  times at one minute intervals.  If the connection is established, and a  transfer problem is encountered, it will try the transfer five times before  it closes the event, and writes to the log.

Users who are watching events tend to be too impatient, and end up canceling  events that otherwise might complete successfully.  Because File Dog is  communicating with a remote computer via public circuits, there's many  things that can go wrong.  Ocassionally something will.  File Dog has several  levels of built in redundancy.  If an event stops, or doesn't start, let it  run.  It may be be five or more minutes before it finally gives up and quits,  or moves to the next scheduled file or event.  If that happens it will write  an error to the activity log.  The length of the timeout period you set,  times 5, will give you an idea how long an event keep trying.

Introduction

File Dog is a fully automated software program that transfers  files via the internet during off-peak hours, or any time you choose.  The  fact is the internet  is busy, and getting busier, and files are getting bigger.  That means  if you want to transfer files you can expect busy servers and slow  transfers, and a waste of time.  No More!

If you now frequently are at your PC transferring files, you can turn much of that work over to File Dog! Some users literally save 10-20 hours a  month; time they used to spend sending or retrieveing files!

With File Dog you just select the files to transfer, set a time,  then forget it.  File Dog wakes up in the middle of the night, transfers  the files you selected, and keeps track of everything for you in its activity  log.  File Dog will work for you anytime you want - even while you are  fast asleep!  Set up a recurring event one time, and let it work for you  again and again!

Don't tie up your phone line and internet connection trying to reach busy file servers,  or waiting for slow downloads from overloaded servers.  Set File Dog up  to get your files at night.  You benefit from reduced connection times,  and you won't be wasting time.  Heck, your internet connection isn't doing anything else at three in the morning; put it to work for you then.

File Dog will retrieve files from WWW pages or FTP servers.  Just about  every worthwhile file on the internet is available from one of these  sources.  File Dog can automatically SEND files to FTP servers.  There's  no easier way to maintain a remote WWW site.

Using File Dog is easy and fast.  You can copy and paste file  addresses from your favorite web browser,  so setting up a File Dog event takes about four mouse clicks.  That's  it!  Because File Dog lets you setup default event parameters, you can  setup events in less than three seconds.  Then, get on to more  important things!  The files you want will be there tomorrow morning!

Setup recurring events to transfer files on a regular basis.  Transfer  only "new" files.  Mirror a remote or local directory.  It's all easy  to do with File Dog doing the work for you!

Okay, you've read too much.  Go ahead and try File Dog.  If you get  stuck, use the on-line help or check the tutorials which you can access from  the "Help" menu on File Dog's Main window.  They're thorough and written in  plain English.  The "Setting Up Events" tutorial will be especially helpful.

Don't let Dino (the File Dog) poop out on you.  Throw him a bone by  registering your copy; then he'll work like a dog for you forever.

Host Connections Window

File Dog includes a fully functional FTP (File Transfer Protocol) module  so you can manually transfer files to and from FTP servers.  FTP is the  most widely used process for transferring files across the internet.

File Dog's FTP implementation consists of two windows.  This connection  window that lets you log onto FTP servers, and a Transfer window  where you transfer and manipulate files on your PC and a remote server.

The connection window displays input boxes that allow you to insert  information about a FTP server, and your login information.  Once the  information is filled in  you click on "Connect" to establish a connection with that server.

Host Connections Window

The Host Connections window is used to enter login information needed to  login to a remote FTP server.  This window is used to connect to a server  for manual (not automated event) file transfers.

This window has complete context sensitive help.  Position your  mouse pointer over the area in question and press the F1 key, or use the  "What's This" help button on the title bar.


Use File Dog's Dialer

If this is checked File Dog will use its internal dialer  to connect to the internet during manual FTP sessions  (if you use a dialup connection).  File Dog's  dialer will automatically connect, and disconnect when the session is finished.   If you select this option, and another dialer is running (you are already  connected to the internet) when a connection is attempted, the connect will not  work.  You can use both File Dog's and another dialer together; just be  sure the other dialer is NOT in use when an event is scheduled.


Profile Tabs

Use the tabs selections to different Host Connection profiles.  Click on  a folder tab to change the focus to that tab.


FTP Host

Mandatory.  Enter either the internet host name, or the internet protocol  address for the host computer you want to logon to.  Example: ftp.imt.net  OR 204.212.40.79.


User ID

Mandatory.  Enter your user ID for the host computer you are connecting to.   If you are using anonymous FTP then enter "anonymous".


Password

Mandatory.  Enter your password for the host computer you are connecting to.   Asterisks will display on your screen.  If you are logging on anonymously  enter something like "guest@anywhere.com".


Port

Mandatory.  Enter the port number for the host computer you are connecting  to.  Unless know otherwise, leave this set at 21.


Passive Check Box

Check this box if your host requires passive transfers.   Most hosts do not require passive transfers, so this check box  should be unchecked.


Normally, the host computer establishes the data connection  after the client contacts it.  Passive transfers require that the data  connections be established by the client rather than the host.


Timeout

Enter the number of seconds File Dog waits before timing out (aborting) a command  sent to the host computer.  In most cases, the sixty second default is  enough.  Note:  If your winsock setting is lower than this setting, the  command will timeout based on the winsock setting.


Initial Local Folder

Optional.  Enter the folder (directory) name and path for the directory on  your PC that you want to start this FTP session in.  Example:  c:\myfolder\files  .


Initial Remote Directory

Enter the directory name and path on the host computer that you want to  start this FTP session in.  Example:  /myname/files   NOTE:  If you are  not sure of the directory paths on the host, just leave this blank.


Connect

Initiates the connection with the remote computer.   When connected, the primary File Dog Transfer window will display.


Save

Saves the information entered on the FTP Connections  tabs for future use.


Main Window

Closes the FTP Connection window.  File Dog's Main  window will display.


Transfer Window

The transfer window is used to transfer files to, and retrieve files from  a FTP host computer.  You can also delete or rename files on your PC, or a  host (if you have "permission") by using the functions of this window.  Although you can delete and rename files  and folders with this window, you may want to use another file utility if  you are doing a lot of that.  You can easily access Windows Explorer from  the "Tools" menu on this window.

This window shows the files on your PC; the left half of the window, and  the files on the host computer; the right half of the window.  File status,  and transfer activity are displayed on the lower part of the window.

For example, if your current directory  displays:  /yourfiles/backup    the active directory is "backup".  If you  double click on the dot-dot the display will be:  /yourfiles   and  "yourfiles" is the active directory.


New Directory Button

Opens an input box for you to enter the name of a new directory on your  host computer.  The new directory will be a sub-directory of the currently  active remote directory.  You must have permission on the host computer  to create directories.


Delete Directory Button

Displays a window asking you to confirm deletion of the selected directory  on the host computer.  The directory must be empty; if not an error message  will be displayed.

Info Button

Opens the File Information window that displays detailed file  information for all of the files  in the file list box of the host computer.

Cancel Retrieve

Cancels the file transfer process.  The Cancel Retrieve button is visible only during file  transfers from your host computer to your PC.  A file in progress will NOT  be finished.


Status Box

Displays file information (name, size in bytes, last date modified, and  attributes) for a single selected file on your PC or your host computer.   If multiple files are selected this box is empty.  During a transfer this  box displays the file size (bytes), bytes transferred, and transfer rate  in kilobits per second (Kbps).  Note:  Some hosts do not provide detailed  status; for those hosts, this box displays "Transferring Files" and the number  of bytes copied during a transfer.


Progress Bar

Displays a graphical representation of the current file transfer progress.   This is visible only when a file transfer is occurring, and will not display  with some hosts.


Binary - ASCII Options

Select the transfer mode.

Auto: Automatically selects the transfer mode.  Files that are in the  File Dog's text files list are transferred in ASCII mode; all others in Binary mode.

Binary:  Used for transferring non-text files.  Nearly all files,  except text files (.txt extension) must be transferred using the binary  option.  If the host you are transferring files to is the same type as your  local host, you can also transfer text files using the binary option

ASCII:  Used for transferring text files in some situations.  End  of line characters on computers can differ.  If your host computer, and  the computer you are transferring from use different characters you will  have to transfer text files with the ASCII option.  You can test by sending  a text file to your host computer in binary mode.  Then retrieve it and  view the file.  If the file is correctly formatted you do not need to use  ASCII transfers.

Note:

Transferring binary files in ASCII mode can sometimes cause serious problems  with your hard disk.  Always use Binary or Auto mode unless you know ASCII is required.


Connect Button

Re-displays the Host Connection window where you enter information to log onto a  host computer.  If you are connected to a host computer when this button  is pushed, the connection will be terminated.  Use this button to reconnect if your  connection has been terminated, or to switch to a different host.


Events

Displays File Dog's events setup window.  If you are connected to a host  computer when this button is pushed, the connection will be terminated.


Compression Window
File Dog Compression

File Dog's Compression lets you easily and quickly unzip files  and/or build file archives.  File Dog uses the popular ZIP  compression format.  That means you can use File Dog to create ZIP files  that can be unzipped with other ZIP programs, and you can unzip files with  File Dog that have been created with other ZIP programs.  Many of the files  available for download on the internet are in ZIP format archives.

New Zipfile

Initializes a new Zipfile so you can add files with the add  function.  The File Display Box will be empty until  you add files.


Archive

An archive is a file that contains other files.  Usually an archive is  compressed, but it doesn't have to be.


Add

Opens the Select Archive Files Window where you select files to add to the currently opened  archive. Select any number of files and click on the OK button. The files  will then be compressed and added to the archive. You can abort the  operation before it is completed by clicking on the stop button at  the bottom right-hand corner of the main compression window.


Open Zipfile

Opens a window allowing you to select an existing Zipfile.  The contents  of the selected file will be displayed on the main compression window.


Delete

Deletes the selected file(s) from the currently displayed Zipfile.


Close Zipfile

Closes the currently displayed Zipfile, and saves any changes you have made  to it.


Extract

Unzips (decompresses) the currently selected file(s) from the Zipfile.   If you have selected Specify Location in the  Compression Configuration window another window will open so  you can enter the folder the extracted files will go in.


Test Zipfile

Select this to test the integrity of a Zipfile and make sure that  all the files in the Zipfile will extract properly.  A window  will appear where you can select a Zipfile file to test. The files in  that Zipfile will be tested. If any problems occur, you will be  notified with a message.  If errors are found you often can fix  them with Fix Zipfile.


Update

Updates the selected files in the currently displayed Zipfile so current  copies are stored in the Zipfile.  The dates of the selected files are  compared with the dates of the files on your hard disk. Only files that  are newer than those in the Zipfile will be replaced.


Fix Zipfile

Select this to try to fix a Zipfile that is corrupted.  Make a copy of the  corrupted Zipfile before you try to repair it.  There are two options:  "Normal" and "Aggressive".  Always try to fix the file with "Normal" first.   If that is not successful, then try "Aggressive".


UpdateZipDate

Select this to have File Dog search the currently opened Zipfile to find  the file with the most recent date.  The date of the Zipfile will be changed  to that date. This is useful to ensure that the date of the Zipfile  accurately reflects how recent its contents are.


Delete Zipfile

Opens a dialog box where you select a zipfile to permanently delete.


Select All

Selects all of the files in the current displayed Zipfile.


Back to Events

Closes the Compression window and displays File Dog's events setup window.


Compression Window

The Zip window is used to unzip ZipFile archives, or to create them.  This  is the primary zip window.  Other supporting windows and dialog boxes are  called by this window when needed.

This window has complete context sensitive help.  When the window is active,  position your  mouse pointer over the area in question and press the F1 key, or use the  "What's This" help button on the tool bar.


Name

The names of the files in the current ZIP file are shown below this label.


Date

The last change date of the files in the current ZIP file are shown below  this label.  The date format is dd/mm/yy.


Time

The last change time of the files in the current ZIP file are shown below this label.


Size

The original size (in bytes) of the files in the current ZIP file are shown below this label.


Packed

The compressed size (in bytes) of the files in the current ZIP file are shown below this label.


Ratio

The compression ratio, expressed as a percent, of the files in the current Zip file are shown below this label.


Path

The folder and file path of the files in the current ZIP file are shown below this label.


File Display Box

The file information for the files in the current ZIP file is shown in this  box.  One file per line.


ZIP File Info

File count, total size, compressed size, and compression ratio for the  current ZIP file is shown in this area.


Progress Bar

Displays a graph showing the completion percentage of the compression  operation.


Stop

Stops the current compression operation.


Configure Compression

Opens the Compression Configuaration window where you can set  File Dog's Zip compression and UnZip settings.


Compression Configuration Window

File Dog's Compression Configuration window lets you set the properties  that will be used for file zip and unzip activities.

This window has complete context sensitive help.  When the window is active,  position your  mouse pointer over the area in question and press the F1 key, or use the  "What's This" help button on the title bar.


Compression

Select the relative degree of compression you want.  Higher levels of  compression slows the compression process. "Normal" provides a good  compression rate without a significant slowdown.  Selecting "None" will  let you combine files into a Zipfile archive, but they will not be compressed.


Zip as One File

If this box is checked, selected files will be compressed into one  archive file.  If it is not checked, files will be individually  compressed.


Use Temp File

If this box is checked, File Dog will use a temporary file when adding  files to an existing Zipfile.  This is a safety feature.  If something  goes wrong when adding a file, such as a system crash or an error, the  original Zipfile will be left intact.  The benefit of turning this off is  faster operation.


Delete Original Files

If this box is checked, the original (source) files will be deleted after  the Zipfile is created.  Normally, you would not do this, but if you are  compressing copies of files, then you may want to delete the files once  they are compressed into an archive.


Include All Hidden Files

If this box is checked, hidden and system files can be added to the Zipfile.   If it is not checked, they cannot be added.


Include Sub-directories

If this box is checked, sub-directories (sub-folders) of any selected  directory (folder) will be added to the Zipfile.  NOT available in this  version of File Dog.


Include Path Info

If this box is checked, complete path information will be included with  the compressed file(s).  This information can be very useful when trying  to restore files to their original folder on your hard disk.


Span Disks

You can use File Dog to compress files and store the Zipfile on floppy  disks.  If the Zipfile will require more than one diskette, then this box  must be checked before you start the compression.  File Dog will prompt  you when the additional diskettes should be inserted.


Format and Span Disks

If this box is checked, File Dog will format diskettes before storing the  Zipfile on them.  All data on the diskettes will be erased!  Be careful.


Extract To Option

Select the folder you want files to be extracted to when files are extracted  from a Zipfile.  "Original Location" will put the extracted files in the  same folder as the Zipfile.  "Specify Location" will cause a window to open  when the extraction starts, and you will then enter the folder that the  extracted files will go in.


Overwrite Files

Select the overwrite method to be used when an extracted file encounters a  file with the same name.  "Always" will cause the extracted file to replace  the existing file without notifying you.  "Never" will leave the existing  file, and the extracted file will not be copied to your hard disk.  "Ask"  will cause a message to appear asking you which file you want to use.


OK Button

Saves the current setting in the Compression Configuration window, and  closes the window


Cancel

Closes the Compression Configuration window.  Changes to the settings will  NOT be saved.


Select Archive Files Window

Use this window to select files to add to the currently open Zipfile or  event file list.  This window is used both to add files to a Zip archive  and create file lists for a Send event.

Click on the area or control you need help with.


Zip Files/Create List Button

Click on this button to add all of the files listed in the  list box. (on the right side of the window) to the Zipfile or  file list.   This window will close.  If you are running the Zip module, the compression  process will run.


Add Button

Adds all of the selected files (blue background) from the file list on the  left side of the window to the selected file list on the  right side of the window.


Add Folder Button

Adds all of the files from the file list on the  left side of the window to the selected file list on the  right side of the window.  Files do not have to be selected first.


Remove Button

Removes the selected files (blue background) from the  selected file list on the  right side of the window.


Clear Button

Removes all of the files from the  selected file list on the  right side of the window.  Files do not have to be selected first.


Cancel Button

Closes the Select Files window.  No files will be added to the  open Zipfile or list.


Selected Files List Box

All of the files selected to add are displayed in  this list box.  When Zip Files/Create List is selected, the files in this  box will be added to the ZipFile or list.  To see file details double-click on  one of the filenames displayed in the box.


OK Button

Click on this to extract the selected files to the selected folder.

If you don't know the remote target (URL) for an event, the easiest way  to locate it is to login manually, and capture the target with Windows'  clipboard.  Here are the steps you need to take:

Step 1. Connect to the remote FTP server.

If you are using the Event Wizard click on the FTP "Go Find It" button.   If not using the wizard, select "FTP Module" from the "Tools" menu.

Enter the information on the connection form for the server you wish to  use for the event.  Use the on-line help, or see the "FTP Module"  tutorial if you are unfamiliar with manual FTP.

Step 2.  Locate the remote folder or file.

Use the right half of the  Transfer window to change and view remote directories.  If the event is a  full directory event (all files) OR an upload (send), then open that  directory, but do NOT  select (click on) any files in the file list.  Then, click the "Retrieve  Later" button near the bottom of the window.

If the event is a fetch of ONE file, select it from the file list (click on  it) then click  on the "Retrieve Later" button.

Note:

The button on the FTP window is labeled, "Retrieve Later".  Use that button  even though you may actually be selecting a directory for a send/mirror event.

Step 3.  Finish.

If you are using the wizard, you are done.  You can close the manual FTP  window if you like.  The remote directory or file URL will be in the  appropriate location in the wizard window.

If you are not using the wizard you will have to paste the URL to the  "Remote" box by selecting "Paste" from the "Edit" menu.


If you don't know the URL of a file you want to retrieve from the WWW then  you will have to connect to the web with your browser, and find the link  to the file you want to retrieve.

View File Dog's "Setting Up Events" tutorial, in particular step 11, to learn  how to capture and paste links to File Dog events.
