a. In the General transfer options area, you can provide more control over Max
concurrent transfer threads , Connection timeout , Connection retry attempts , and
Delay between retries . When files are being transferred with Event Rules (copy/move),
if there are connection problems (e.g., the network is unavailable), the Server will attempt
to establish a connection the number of times specified in
Connection retry attempts .
When the Server is able to re-establish the connection, it continues to transfer the file
even if there are multiple interruptions.
b. Select the Validate file integrity after transfer check box to specify that the Server
should double check binary files to ensure the files downloaded completely and correctly.
c. In the Data port mode box, click the drop-down list and select one of the following:

Auto - (selected by default) the Server initially makes connections in PASV
mode. If the PASV connection fails, the Server attempts to connect in PORT
mode automatically.

PASV - Helps avoid conflicts with security systems. PASV support is necessary
for some firewalls and routers, because with PASV, the client opens the
connection to an IP Address and port that the Server supplies.

PORT - Use PORT when connections or transfer attempts fail in PASV mode, or
when you receive data socket errors. When a client connects using PORT, the
Server opens a connection to an IP address and port that the client supplies. If
you select Port, specify the Port range.
d. In the ASCII transfer mode area, specify the file types that can be transferred. TXT, INF,
HTML, and HTM are specified by default.
e. In the Time stamps area, select one of the following:

Select the Preserve remote time stamp for downloaded files check box to
keep a downloaded file's time stamp the same on the local computer as it is on
the Server.

Select the Preserve the local time stamp for uploaded files if the Server
allows MDTM check box to keep an uploaded file's time stamp the same on the
Server as it is on the local computer.
f. Click OK .
