Default Server Profile

Typically there are a number of settings that a user may wish to specify that apply to all server profiles. The default profile provides this feature whilst still allowing each setting to be customized in a server profile.

Hide Files with Names Started With a Period

This option allows you to hide files beginning with a period character. Typically, configuration files on UNIX platforms are identified in this way.

Resolve Link File Locations

This option determines the actual target for UNIX link files by attempting to change directory using the link name. This may be required if symbolic links are used as short-cuts to other directories.

Verify Files Written

Following a successful save, each file is transferred back to the PC and compared. This option provides an extra level of security when editing important files.

Set ASCII as the Default Transfer Type

This option sets the default transfer type selected in the File Open dialog box to ASCII. This is required when opening files from non UNIX servers, such as VMS and AS/400, when text files must be transferred as ASCII to be correctly formatted with line breaks. This option is not required on the HPe3000 as Programmer Studio uses the MPE build parameters to determine the correct file type.

Disable Initial Directory Listing in the File Dialog Box

This option prevents the initial directory listing being returned when changing servers in the File dialog box. This can be especially useful when the initial directory contains hundreds of files.
