Creating an FTP Connection Profile

To supply the runtime connection information for an FTP server, create an FTP connection profile. You can also use the fully-configured default FTP connection profile installed with Sybase WorkSpace.

To create an FTP connection profile:

  1. In the Enterprise Explorer, right-click Message Transports and select New.

  2. In the Wizard Selection page, select FTP and click Next.

  3. Complete the following information on the wizard pages:

    Name and Description page

    FieldDescription
    NameFor example, ftp2.
    DescriptionFor example, YourCorp FTP.
    Auto-ConnectSelect the check box to automatically connect to the server and display its contents in the Enterprise Explorer. This happens whenever the Enterprise Explorer is opened.

    FTP Server Properties page

    FieldDescription
    Server NameFor example, ftp.mycorp.com.
    User NameFor example, guest.
    PasswordEnter the password for the user name, if required.

  4. Click Next.

    The Summary Page appears. Click Back to modify any of the information.

  5. Click Finish.

    The connection profile icon appears in the Enterprise Explorer under the Message Transports folder. If you selected Auto-Connect in the Name and Description page, the connection profile is connected.

    Note

    If you change the connection properties of a connection profile that is already connected, the connection profile will immediately disconnect from the resources and automatically attempt to reconnect using the updated information.
