This section discusses the options displayed on the Advanced tab for a server profile. Due to the number of advanced settings, the advanced tab is sub-divided by category. Using the drop-down to select a specific category changes the remaining options displayed on this tab.
If options are not applicable to the server profile, an exclamation icon is displayed at the bottom of the tab and the options remain disabled.
The PASV mode option ensures that all connections to the server are initiated by Programmer Studio. When not enabled, the file listing and file transfers are made over connections initiated by the server; many firewall or proxy servers will not support this.

Note |
Older server platforms may not support PASV mode. |
The STOU mode option provides the ability to store a file using a temporary file name which can then be renamed to the proper filename only after a successful transfer. This can be very useful on unreliable links as some FTP servers may delete any existing target file as soon as a file transfer starts, and not when successful.
When enabled, Programmer Studio uses the SITE command to restore the permissions of a UNIX file after it has been saved. If this option is not enabled, or supported by the server, the FTP server will assign default permissions to the file. If you are editing files such as shell scripts or CGI scripts which can be executed, this can result in the file losing the execute permission.
The Port number specifies the TCP/IP port on which the server is accepting connections. The default port number for FTP is 21; however system administrators may change this to help defeat casual hackers.
Then XON option specifies that the server transmits the XON character when it is ôreadyö to accept data.
When enabled, the VT backspace option converts all backspace characters typed into the session output window into delete characters.
The CHDIR option should be used for HPe3000 servers that do not place the user in the POSIX (UNIX compatible) shell following a successful login. Before executing a command, Programmer Studio first changes the current directory by issuing a ôcdö command followed by a fully-qualified path. In the native HPe3000 shell, the ôcdö command is not supported and ôchdirö should be used instead.
The SET DEF option should be used for VMS servers which do not place the user in the POSIX (UNIX compatible) shell following a successful login. This option will use the SET DEF command followed by a VMS format directory specification [000000à] instead of using ôcdö to change directories before executing commands.
The Port number specifies the TCP/IP port on which the server is accepting connections. The default port number for TELNET is 23; however system administrators may change this to help defeat casual hackers.
The UDC options specify the level of support for system, account and user UDCs. It is important to remember that this does not affect any commands executed, only to resolve file and COPYLIB locations.
The Port number specifies the TCP/IP port on which the server is accepting connections. The default port number for WTRSH is 11000 although this may have been changed by your system administrator.
Enabling access to the native MPE file system will prevent access to POSIX directories and allow the use of native MPE file names in the format FILE.GROUP.ACCOUNT.
The CALLCI option should be used when the user is placed in the POSIX (UNIX compatible) shell following a successful login. When executing commands which have the format FILE.GROUP.ACCOUNT the command callci is used as a prefix.
