Parse password: Checkbox to determine if the password should be parsed or
used as a literal string. This option is checked by default (parsed) for
backwards comparability with SFTPI/O plugin versions earlier than 1.3.

l
SFTP: Select if the FTP server uses SFTP (SSH).
l

Port Number Group
l
Use default port: Check to use the default port used by the protocol selected
above.
l
Port number: Set to use a specific port number. Note: There is no validation to
ensure the port is available. It is the user's responsibility to ensure the selected port

Workflow task.
l
File Options group
l
Directory: Enter the path of the folder to poll on the FTP server. If this box is left
empty, PlanetPress Workflow will poll the root directory.
Note
The given directory will be looked up from the user's home directory. Such a
home directory is usually under the server main user directory and generally
includes the user’s name. For example, if "/tmp/temp/copy_pending" is
entered, it does not point to the "/tmp/temp/copy_pending" directory but to the
"/users/support/tmp/temp/copy_pending" directory.
l
Masks: Enter a single file name mask. Multiple entries are not allowed in this box.
l
Delete remote file: Check this option to delete the file after it has been retrieved by
Workflow.
l
Connection mode group: This group is only relevant to the FTPS protocol and appears
when it is selected. SFTP uses a single connection to download all files.
l
Active: Select to prompt the ftp client to use the active mode when retrieving files
from the FTP server.
