An FTP TrueUpdate server location is a folder on an FTP server where the TrueUpdate client will download the server configuration files from using FTP (file transfer protocol).
The unique identifier of the current TrueUpdate server location. This identifier can be used whenever you need to access this particular server location.
The full address of the FTP site including the directory. The protocol designator is optional, e.g. "ftp.yourdomain.com/trueupdate/" and "ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com/trueupdate/" are equally valid.
Tip: The folder address also supports the expansion of session variables, allowing you to change it dynamically at runtime.
The connection timeout in seconds for communication between the TrueUpdate client and the FTP site.
Note: Timeout values are interpreted in multiple ways during client server communication. As a result the actual timeout used by the connection may differ from the value specified.
The port to connect to on the FTP server. The standard FTP port 21 is used by default.
The name to use to log into the FTP site. Enter "anonymous" or leave blank for anonymous FTP.
The password for the FTP site that goes with the Username. For anonymous FTP, use your email address.
An FTP account name for servers that require it. (Some servers require a login name, password, and account name instead of just a login name and password.) VERY RARELY necessary.
Use passive/firewall mode when transferring files. Passive mode (also known as "firewall mode") is required whenever you need to transfer files to or from an FTP server from behind a firewall.
Normally, your computer makes a connection to an FTP server, and the FTP server responds by opening a connection back to your computer. This return connection won't work if your computer can't be reached directly from the Internet. In passive mode, both connections are made from your computer, so the FTP server doesn't have to do any connecting—it just waits passively for your computer to make both of the connections to it.
Most servers support passive mode connections, so it's generally best to leave this setting enabled.
