Configure File Transfer Settings (UTS)

File Transfer Type

Protocol

UTS options are None, MAPPER, and OS2200.

MAPPER Settings

In most cases, you should be able to transfer data without making any modifications to the default configuration. You will need to change the defaults if you are using a version of MAPPER whose user interface or commands have been translated from English into another language. If you are not sure what to enter, contact your host administrator.

Mapper Report

End report

The text that appears at the end of a MAPPER report.

Page identifier

The text string that identifies the display as a MAPPER report page.

Shift command

The command that scrolls the MAPPER report horizontally.

RID not found message

The MAPPER message that appears when you try to open a MAPPER report using an invalid number.

Trim trailing spaces

Specifies the default setting that will be selected in the Receive File dialog box. Select this option to delete any extra spaces that might exist at the end of the received file.

Retain header on download

Specifies the default setting that will be selected in the Receive File dialog box.

If you plan to upload a file again later, it is recommended that you do not retain header information. If you include a header in a downloaded file, then subsequently upload the file, the MAPPER report will have two headers: the one inherent in the MAPPER report, and the one included in the PC file.

File type

Specifies the default setting that will appear in the Receive File dialog box.

Comma separated fields - Convert tabs to commas (most spreadsheets and databases can import files in this format).

Convert tabs to spaces - Convert tabs to spaces.

Do not change tabs - Retain the tabs.

Options

When target file exists

Specifies the default setting for handling transfers when the file exists.

Insert - (Send File only) Insert the data in the PC file into the MAPPER report, beginning at the line specified in the At Line text box. All subsequent data in the MAPPER report will be moved down

Overwrite - Replace all data.

Append - Add data to the end of the report.

Cancel - Do not transfer data.

Command code

The MAPPER command code that precedes a MAPPER command (such as the commands to add or delete lines).

Look switch

Line zero

Command

The command to display Line Zero Information.

Response

The title of the Line Zero Information page.

OS2200 Settings

Use these settings to specify options for communicating with the OS 2200 Editor during a file transfer. You should be able to transfer files without making any modifications to the default configuration. However, you can customize the configuration to optimize performance.

Options

Tab character

Type the character in the PC file that will be converted to a tab character when the file is uploaded to the OS 2200 Editor.

Once this character is converted to a tab on the OS 2200 Editor, it cannot be converted back to the original character. If you do not want to convert any characters in the PC file to tab characters, type a character that does not exist in the PC file, such as |.

Transfer time out

Type the number of seconds (0-100) that the file transfer protocol will wait for a host response before canceling the transfer.

Automatic recovery

Select this option to restore the original version of the OS 2200 Editor file that was being modified when a connection with the OS 2200 Editor is broken.

If you select this option, the file that was last in use on the OS 2200 Editor is restored and appears in the session window, even if it is not the file that you currently want to upload or download.

If you clear this option, the prompt asking you whether to recover the file remains on the screen until you respond to it.

Suppress display

Select this option if you do not want the contents of the file to appear on the screen while the file is being transferred. If you clear this option, the contents of the file appears on the screen.

When local file exists

Specify the default action to use if a file with the same name as the one you are transferring already exists on the PC. The option you select here will be selected by default in the Receive File and Send File dialog box. If you select None, no default action is selected.
