The FTP branch under Preferences has the following options:
Display FTP accounts in Workspace Manager
If this option is selected, FTP accounts will be shown in the Workspace Manager under the Explorer tab. The root of the account will be listed as a top level directory and may be expanded to show files/folders under this account.
Show FTP log in output window
If this option is selected an FTP log showing all commands sent to and data received from the FTP server will be displayed in the output window. This can provide helpful diagnostic information and the contents of this window may be copied using the clipboard. When this option is selected, Append summary to Output Window should also be selected under the Application Layout branch in Configuration. If this is not selected, the FTP log will be replaced with the compare results when the files loaded via FTP are compared.
Use CRC compare for FTP files
If this option is selected, rather than downloading files for local comparison, UltraCompare will attempt to get a CRC value for the specified files from the FTP server using the commands CRC32, MD5 and SHA1. If none of these commands are supported by the remote server, a dialog will inform the user of this and the folder compare will be executed defaulting to the currently selected folder mode compare option.
Prompt when FTP server does not support CRC
If this option is selected and a CRC compare is executed against folders on an FTP server, but that server does not support the commands used for calculating CRC values, a prompt dialog will be displayed to notify the user that the selected folders will be downloaded and the last used folder compare method will be used to compare the specified folders.
