File Transfer List (*.FTL) Files
File Transfer List (FTL) files are created in FileTransfer2, and allow you to save a list of files as
they appear in either the Files To Send or Files To Receive queues (with communications settings
and device mapping information).
Once saved as an FTL file, the file transfer list can be quickly reloaded without having to open and
configure each file.
To create a FTL file:
1.
Add a list of files to the Files To Send or Files To Receive queues (in either the Send or Receive
tab).
2.
Click the
Save List
command button. This opens the Save As dialog, with File Transfer List
Files (*.ftl) pre-selected as the Save as type selection.
3.
Click
Save
to save the FTL file.
To open a FTL file:
1.
Click the
Load List
command button (in either the Send or Receive tab) to open the Open
dialog, with File Transfer List Files (*.ftl) pre-selected as the Files of type selection.
2.
Locate and select the desired FTL file, and click
Open
to add the files defined in the FTL list to
the Files to Send or Receive queue.
NetLinx Master Security
NetLinx Studio (v2.3 or higher) supports secure communication with NetLinx Masters, via the
Authentication Required option in the Communication Settings dialog.
Before you can enable/disable NetLinx security on a Master through NetLinx Studio, you must
verify the following:
The target Master has been loaded with firmware that supports security. This means that the Master
must have Master Firmware version 304 (or higher) to support this functionality. If your master
does not have firmware loaded that supports security, the Master will not be secured (although it
might appear to be in NetLinx Studio).
Security has been enabled on the target Master (via options in the Security tab of the Master's built-
in interface). Refer to the Master's documentation for details on enabling/disabling security.
With security enabled, users will be required to provide the correct User Name and Password in
order to establish communication with the Master.
The User Name and Password are case-sensitive.
If the correct User Name and Password are not entered, NetLinx Studio will display an
"Authentication Failure" message, and the connection to the Master will be denied.
This security option is not available for Axcess masters, or for NetLinx Virtual Master
connections.
