When you store an installation set on an FTP server in the network, you need to specify the information about the FTP server and the transfer of the installation set. You can make these settings in the FTP page. Note that the system only displays this page when you select For FTP server in the Installation Set Type dialog box.

The components of the FTP page are as follows.

Specify the name of the directory where you store the installation set. You can specify no more than 255 characters. This setting is required. No directory name is specified by default.

If the specified directory does not exist, the specified directory is automatically created when the installation set is transferred. If you want to store the installation set in a directory in a hierarchy, delimit directories using \.
