 About

Use this command to display the version number of FTP Voyager Scheduler.  If you are using a registered version of FTP Voyager, your name will appear in this dialog box.

NOTE:  You may customize the toolbar in two different ways.

1) Use the Toolbar Options in the Options Dialog.

2) Right mouse click on the tool bar and select "Customize".


Options

The options dialog allows you to setup options of FTP Voyager.  The Options Dialog is divided into several pages:

General Options

These options contain general type options used to configure FTP Voyager Scheduler; the options found here include the "Keep Alive" parameters and the ability to specify a viewer.

Connection Options

These options contain information used to connect to FTP Sites.  The information found here includes Proxy Server, Port Number, and various time-out values

Dial Options (Dial On Demand)

These options allow you to select a phone book entry from "Dial Up Networking" so that FTP Voyager Scheduler automatically connects and disconnects from the Internet.

Auto ASCII

This tab allows you to specify what files extensions are considered to be ASCII text files.  When you specify extensions here, files that contain one of these extensions, can be automatically transferred using ASCII transfer mode.

Tool bar Options

This tab allows you to specify which toolbar options you would like to use.  From this tab you can enable and disable each of the toolbar buttons as well as the FTP Site Profile list.

Log Options

This tab allows you to select the log options that you prefer.  These include colors, logging to a file, and cache size.


General Options

The following are the General Options available in the Options Dialog:

Show Splash when starting FTP Voyager Scheduler

Select this option if you want FTP Voyager Scheduler to show its startup or "splash" screen when starting FTP Voyager Scheduler.  Remove this checkmark and the splash screen is not displayed.

Monitor Clipboard for FTP URL

Select this option to monitor the Windows clipboard for FTP URLs in the form of "ftp://ftp.site.com/dir1/dir2/".  When FTP Voyager Scheduler recognizes a URL change on the clipboard, it attempts to connect to the site URL it found on the clipboard.  FTP Voyager Scheduler will attempt to connect only while it is running, and a clipboard URL change occurred after starting.  Most web browsers support copying ftp:// shortcuts to the clipboard, by right mouse clicking on the link, then selecting "Copy Shortcut".  Click here for more information.

Anonymous Password

When using anonymous connections to FTP servers, you are usually expected to use your e-mail address as the password.  This field allows you to specify a password to use for anonymous connections.  Using your e-mail address may be important for some servers so it can identify your activity.


Connection Options

The following are the Connection Options available in the Options Dialog:

Internet Access Type

The Internet Access Type allows you to choose how you want to access the Internet.  The following are the options:

•	Direct Internet Access (default) - access the Internet directly without going through a proxy server.  Also, use this option to access internal FTP sites, or if you access both the Internet and are required to go through a proxy, use the Advanced options for your site.

•	OPEN Site - use the proxy server specified, sending the "OPEN" command to connect.

•	SITE Site - use the proxy server specified, sending the "SITE" command to connect.

•	UserID = userid@site - use the proxy server specified, but when connecting to a site, use the proxy server for the site name and create a user id "userid@site" for the user ID.  For example, if connecting through a proxy server to Microsoft, the site used would be your proxy server and the user ID, automatically generated by FTP Voyager, would be "anonymous@ftp.microsoft.com".  In anonymous mode, the password would be "FtpVoyager@www.rhinosoft.com".  With this mode, you may also specify a password for the proxy server (if your proxy server requires a password).

•	USER after Logon - use this proxy mode if your server requires you to logon using the "USER" and "PASS" commands, followed by logging into your server using UserID = user@site.  The sequence of events is: Connect to proxy server, USER ProxyName, PASS ProxyPassword, USER userid@site, PASS SitePassword.

•	UserID = userid@site:port - is the same as "UserID = userid@site" with the exception that a colon and the port setting specified for your site is appended after the site name.

•	UserID = userid@site port - is the same as "UserID = userid@site" with the exception that a space and the port setting specified for your site is appended after the site name.

•	UserID = proxy_userID@site - when selected sends the proxy server User ID followed by @ and the destination site.  If a proxy server password is required the "PASS" command is issued followed by the proxy server password.  After logging into the proxy server and the external server connection is established, a normal login procedure occurs to the site.  An example proxy server that uses this method is the "Check Point FireWall".

•	SOCKS4 Proxy - use the specified SOCKS4 proxy server.  You may also enter your user name if required.  If a user name is not required, leave it blank.

•	SOCKS5 Proxy - use the specified SOCKS5 proxy server.  You may also enter your user name and password if required.  If a user name or password is not required, leave it blank.

•	SOCKS4A Proxy - use the specified SOCKS4A proxy server.  You may also enter your user name if required.  If a user name is not required, leave it blank.  The difference between SOCKS4 and SOCKS4A is the ability of the proxy server to resolve domain names.  Microsoft uses SOCKS4A.  Use this proxy server type if the client machine is unable to resolve domain names to IP addresses.

Proxy Name

If you're using a proxy server, enter your proxy server name here.

Proxy Server User ID

If your proxy server requires a User ID and you're using the "OPEN",  "SITE", or "SOCKS4" proxy method, you may specify a User ID for the proxy server.  If you don't want to use one, leave this field blank.

Proxy Server Password

If you select the "UserID = userid@site" Internet Access Type, you are allowed to enter a password for your proxy server.  If you leave this field blank, no password will be used.

The format used for the FTP site is <proxy name>:<proxy password>.  FTP Voyager automatically does this operation for you.

PASV Mode

Check this box to always use PASV mode when connecting to an FTP site, regardless of the site setting.  If the site bypasses using the proxy, the PASV mode specified for the site is used.

Port Number

Enter the port number you want to use for all FTP Sites.  If you enter a number here, other than 0, it will be used as the port number for all sites.  FTP Sites can "override" this value, by having a port number other than 0

UserID=user@site Delimiter

If your proxy server is of the type "UserID = userid@site", but expects to see a different character than '@' (such as '#') enter it here.

Connection Time-out

The time-out value in seconds to use for Internet connection requests.  If a connection request takes longer than this time-out, the request is canceled. The default time-out is 61.

Connection Retries

The retry count to use for Internet connection requests. If a connection attempt still fails after the specified number of tries, the request is canceled. The default is zero.

Send Time-out

The time-out value in seconds to use for data Internet send requests. If a data send request takes longer than this time-out, the request is canceled. The default time-out is 61.

Send Buffer Size

This value represents the number of bytes that FTP Voyager should attempt to send in one packet to the server.  This is an advanced feature of FTP Voyager and should only be changed if required.  The default value is 512.

Receive Time-out

The time-out value in seconds to use for data Internet receive requests. If a data receive request takes longer than this time-out, the request is canceled. The default time-out is 61.

Receive Buffer Size

This value represents the number of bytes that FTP Voyager should attempt to receive in one packet from the server.  This is an advanced feature of FTP Voyager and should only be changed if required.  The default value is 512.

Connection Saver

FTP Voyager normally uses multiple connections or logins for file transfers.  By selecting this option, FTP Voyager uses only one connection.  You would enable this option if your FTP Server allows you to login only once.  If, while performing file transfers, you get a message that says you're already logged in or you login not accepted, enable this feature.

If this option is enabled, FTP Voyager will not allow you to browse a site while uploading or downloading.

You may override this selection in the Advanced settings for each site.


Dial Options (Dial On Demand)

The following are the Dial On Demand (DOD) options.  These options are only available if Windows "Dial Up Networking" is installed on your computer.

Automatically Dial

Select this option if you want FTP Voyager to automatically connect when required through Windows "Dial Up Networking".   If this option is selected, you must select a phone book entry.

Phone Book Entry to Dial

Select the phone book entry you want to use for dial up networking.  You must have at least one entry defined in "Dial Up Networking" in order for this option to show any values.  When changing selections, FTP Voyager fills in the remaining fields based on the Windows settings for the entry.

User Name

Enter the user name, if required, for your dial up connection.

Password

Enter the password, if required, for your dial up connection.

Domain

Enter the domain name, if required, for your dial up connection.

Try to connect N times

Enter the number of times you want FTP Voyager to attempt to connect using "Dial Up Networking".  This value may range from 1 to 1000.  If a connection cannot be established, FTP Voyager try again up to the number of times entered here.

Call Back Number

An empty value indicates that callback should not be used.  This string is ignored unless the user has "Set By Caller" callback permission on the RAS server.  An asterisk indicates that the number stored in the phone book should be used for callback.


Auto ASCII Options
Auto ASCII

The file extensions, specified here, tell FTP Voyager which files to consider as being ASCII text files.  Files ending with the extensions specified here, can cause FTP Voyager to automatically use ASCII transfer mode for transferring files. The following are the Auto ASCII Options available in the Options Dialog:

File Extension List

File extensions are shown in this list.  Extensions can be selected.  When selected, the remove option becomes available.

File Extension Field

You may enter a new file extension in the field above the Add button.  To add an extension, type the extension (with or without the period), then press the "Add" button.  The "Add" button remains unavailable until at least one character is entered into the field.

Add

Press this button to add a new file extension to the File Extension List.  This button remains unavailable until at least one character is entered into the File Extension Field.

Remove

Press this button to remove a file extension from the list.  This button remains unavailable until a File Extension is selected in the list.


Toolbar Options

The toolbar options allow you to choose which toolbar buttons you want to use.  Click on the "Buttons" button in the dialog to remove, add, or reposition tool bar options.  After selecting the "Buttons" button, a dialog appears allowing you to remove items from the right side, and add buttons from the left side.  You may also move button positions by selecting move up and move down.

For more information about customizing your tool bar, click here.  For other Toolbar Customization methods, click here.

If Flat Toolbar is selected, FTP Voyager shows the toolbar using the flat Office 97 style.  NOTE: this option will work only if you have Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater installed.  It requires an updated COMCTL32.DLL which adds this support to Windows.

If Show Toolbar Buttons in Menus is selected, FTP Voyager shows the equivalent toolbar button next to the menu command.


Log Options

The log options allow you to define how you want FTP commands, responses, and status logged.  The following are the options:

Clear Log Between Sessions

If selected, FTP Voyager clears the information in the log window when a new session is started.  If not selected, FTP Voyager appends to the log even between connections.  Checked is the default.

Colors

The color options allow you to select a color for each of the log item types.  Select the color button next to the item color you would like to change.  Select the desired color then press OK.

Log Window Cache

You may specify a cache size for the log pane.  You may specify the maximum number of lines you want "saved".  After the maximum number of lines is achieved in the log pane, FTP Voyager reduces the number of lines by 10%.

Log File

Enter the file you would like to use to store the log information.  You may select the "Browse" button to select a file, or simply enter the file name and path in this field.  If no log file is specified (the default), FTP Voyager will not log to a file.  However, if the log pane is enabled, FTP Voyager will continue showing you the FTP commands and responses.

Log to File (enabled)

Check this box to enable logging to the Log File specified above.  If unchecked or no log file is specified, FTP Voyager will not log the FTP commands and responses to a file.

Append Between Sessions

When checked, FTP Voyager appends the log information to the log file even between FTP Voyager sessions.  This can cause very large log files over time, so be careful with its use.

Status Only

Use an abbreviated version of the log.  When this option is enabled only status information is shown in the log.  Commands and responses are not logged or shown.  Errors are logged.

Don't Log Server to Server Transfer Status

Select this option to prevent FTP Voyager from logging the transfer status from Serv-U servers when doing server to server transfers.  When the transfer status is logged, more memory, screen space, and disk space can be used.  The information is very repetitive and may not be useful for a log.  This option is enabled by default.

FTP URL Clipboard Monitoring

FTP Voyager Scheduler monitors the Windows clipboard for FTP URLs in the form of "ftp://ftp.site.com/dir1/dir2/file.fid".  If FTP Voyager Scheduler finds a string that starts with ftp:// it assumes the string is an FTP URL, then automatically attempts to connect to the site and download the requested file.

FTP Voyager supports the standard URL format for FTP.  The following is the format:

ftp://[user ID:password@]<host name>[:port]/[path name/][get file name]

where the information with in brackets "[]" is optional.

Most web browsers support copying ftp:// shortcuts to the clipboard, by right mouse clicking on the link, then selecting "Copy Shortcut".

If you need to specify a space in the FTP URL format, use "%20", which is the hexadecimal representation for a space.  (i.e., ftp://myuserid:my%20password@ftp.mysite.com)
