FTP Setup for Upload



Here you can setup an optional FTP site connection for upload of each processed image.

Server - The name of the FTP server. e.g. ftp.yourserver.com

UserName - The login username

Password - The login password

Password Again - A repeat of the password as validation

To Path - The path on the server where the file should be saved. e.g. /www/allsky/ (note: forward slashes).

Note: The upload path is required to be fully qualified on the server being uploaded-to regardless of login access rights. For example a certain login home directory may be users/brian/, but on the server this directory may actually be var/www/users/brian which is the path you will need to enter. This can be tricky to determine, depending on how the server is setup. If you have any trouble, you may need to contact your server administrator to find out the actual upload path to a specific directory.

Proxy - Any proxy to use, if needed by your network. Leave blank if unsure.

Test Connection - Press this button to test the currently configured connection. Connection testing may take a little while and once started, you must wait for either a success or failure return. If a connection failure results, the reason will be returned.

Test Path - Press this button to test the currently configured connection and also the upload path. As with connection testing, once started you must wait for either a success or failure return. This test will attempt to switch into the chosen upload directory. If it succeeds then your FTP setup is working and you can save your layout. If a failure results from this test, the reason will be returned.

Use Passive Mode - Try Passive Mode FTP if you experience connection failures.

Use this FTP Upload Setup - Check this box, if you want processed images and animations to be uploaded to this site.

Note: The FTP connection information for a specific layout is saved in a special .ftp file in the same directory as your imAdjSoft Layout. As a security measure, so as not to store plain text login information on your hard drive, sensitive information like Usernames and Passwords are encrypted in this file and can only be read by ImAdjSoft.
