ContentsTrueUpdate Server Upload Settings - SFTP
This project wizard page contains the settings that are required to upload the server configuration files using SFTP. SFTP transfers data securely over SSH layer using AES, DES, and BLOWFISH encryption. If you need to adjust these settings later, they can be found on the Upload tab of the Build Settings dialog, found by choosing Publish > Settings... from the program menu.
The full address of the FTP site including the directory (e.g. "ftp.yourdomain.com/trueupdate/") that you want to upload the server configuration files to when publishing.
Note: The protocol designator is optiona, e.g. "ftp.yourdomain.com/trueupdate/" and "ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com/trueupdate/" are equally valid.
Test the SFTP settings to ensure they are correct by uploading a small file and then deleting it. A dialog will open to show the status and result of the test.
The connection timeout (in seconds) for communication between the TrueUpdate publisher 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 SFTP port 22 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 FTP user name. 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 publishing the server 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.

Exit the project wizard. Exiting the project wizard means that all information that has been entered in the wizard will be lost and a blank project will be created.
