Description

This is the text that's displayed in the connection list.

Anonymous login

Tick this box for anonymous login. The user name and password fields will be disabled.

Username

If you have an account on the FTP server, enter your username here.

Password

Enter the password for your FTP account. If you leave the password blank you will be prompted for it when a connection is made. See Password Dialog.

Local path

Enter the local path used in the comparison. This can be mapped drive letter or a UNC resource identifier. Use the browse button to browse all available resources on the local machine and on the network it is connected to. You can delay entering the path until after a connection has been made.

File Types

Enter the criteria for files that will be included in the comparison. You can specify any file specification you like such as *.* or *.exe. If you want to include more than one type of file enter multiple file specifications separated with a semi-colon. e.g. *.bmp; *.wmf; *.gif; *.jpg

Remote path

Enter the remote path used in the comparison. You can delay entering the path until after a connection has been made. Once connected you can browse for the path on the remote server with the browse button in the main window.

Include sub-folders

The include sub-folders option controls whether files in sub-folders of the selected paths will be included in the comparison. For instance, if the paths are set to the root directory of a drive then, with this option set, all files that match the specified file types will be displayed in the comparison list.
