The Host tab window differs depending on the type of
communications media used for this channel.
FTP Server Name field – enter the IP address or domain name to use in the connection to the FTP server that will receive the data from your server. This is the name that identifies the FTP server to all other PCs.
User ID – enter the user name that will be used to log in to the remote server.

Enter the port number used for FTP communications to the firewall server if you want to override what EC Gateway will choose. Most firewall servers do not require a port and automatically use a default port during communications sessions, so this field is usually left blank.
