The Transfer Modes
preferences allow you to associate a transfer
mode to a file type. JFTP uses these settings when you are transferring files
in Auto-Detect
mode. To change the Transfer Modes
preferences, open the Preferences
dialog by selecting Tools
-> Preferences
(JFTP -> Preferences
on Mac OS X) menu
item from the menu bar. Select Transfer Modes
category in the Preferences
dialog. This will display the existing Transfer Modes
preferences.
As you can notice from the Preferences dialog, various file types (file extensions) are associated with a specific transfer mode.
To associate a transfer mode to a new file type, scroll to the end of the
table and click in the File Type
cell and enter the file type (extension
of the file) and press the Enter
key. For e.g. DOC
.
Click in the Transfer Mode
cell and select the mode in which you
would like to transfer the file.
To remove an association, locate and click on the file type, and clear the
File Type
field and press Enter
key.
Default Transfer Mode
Specify the transfer mode to use if JFTP comes across a file type that is not
listed in the transfer modes preferences table. It is always better to use Binary
as the default transfer type.
When you are done, you may click on the Save
button to save the
changes or click on another category to change the preferences in that category.
