Client / Transfers

 

The Client / Transfers screen displays various options used when files edited and moved. 

 

 Place the mouse over an item to see a tool-tip for additional information about that setting.

 

After making any change, press Save Configuration to cause the settings to be stored in the MOMI.INI file.

 

The Editor determines when a text file is brought to the PC for editing what program is launched and how the file is treated. How line termination is handled within the file is selected by the DOS Format and UNIX Format selector. DOS uses a CR/LF at the end of each line where UNIX uses a LF. The selection determines how MOMI will prepare the file for the editor, or in other words this selection determines how the file indicates a 'new line'.

 

Transfer Sounds chooses the sound played at various events.

 

Connection Settings chooses the FTP port and other transfer options. Usually, FTP transfers take place over port 21, but the Port field allows an alternate port to be chosen. Checking PASV alters the socket setup sequence and provides an alternate method that is desired when the FTP server is behind a firewall. The One-time Password option instructs MOMI to prompt for a new password at FTP connect. This is intended for environments that use devices that provide a new password key/pin at regular intervals. The "Confirmations" areas when checked prompt the user to confirm the actions of Overwriting and existing file, renaming a file and deleting a file.

 

The ASCII File extensions area list all file extensions considered as ASCII which may determine file transfer type and enables the 'edit' function. The No File .Ext check-box provides for files without an extension to be treated as ASCII. A file extension are the characters after the last period in the file name (i.e. last being from the far right of the file name).
