FTP Retries:
This is the
number of times to attempt to send the file to the FTP server before both deleting it
and moving on to the next or keeping it and moving on to the next. The receiver will attempt to
resend all failed files when the acceleration service is restarted or the "Retry Failed FTP" button is
pressed.
FTP seconds between retries:
This pull-down allows you to select number of seconds which will elapse between each attempt
to send the file to the FTP server.
Action on FTP failure:
This specifies the action to take if the FTP retry limit is exceeded. If delete is selected the file will
be delete, otherwise the file will be stored until the "Retry Failed FTP" button is clicked or the
acceleration service is restarted.
Retry Failed FTP:
This button will cause any files that failed FTP transfer to be re-sent to the FTP server. This action
is only valid if "Action on FTP Failure" is set to "keep"
Purge Failed FTP:
This button will delete any files which are pending to be re-sent to the FTP server. This action is
only valid if "Action on FTP Failure" is set to "keep".
Note:
If disk utilization reaches 80%, a purge of all files that failed FTP transfer will
automatically occur.
