    Item

    Description

    Transmission card name

    Select a transmission card from the list and then click Select, or double-click the desired transmission card. A transmission card whose name contains a single-byte space cannot be specified.

    To check the contents of a transmission card, select the card and then click Details.

    The transmission cards displayed here are those set by JP1/FTP on the host that is used to define jobs. In the cases below, the list of applicable transmission cards will not be displayed. In such cases, enter a transmission card name.

    • The host used to define jobs differs from the host used to execute jobs.

    • JP1/FTP is not installed.

    Host name of client

    Specifies the host name (physical or logical host name) or IP address to be set as the FTP client's transmission source IP address.

    When you specify an IP address, you can specify an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

    If local IP address specification is enabled at the FTP client, the host name specified in this option becomes the FTP client's local IP address. If this option is omitted, the name of the FTP client's physical host is assumed.

    If local IP address specification is disabled at the FTP client, the address assigned automatically by the OS is used.

    For details about the definition for enabling local IP address specification at the FTP client, see 3.11 Using JP1/FTP in a multiple IP address environment.

    File to store transmission-end information

    ((0 to 259-byte character string))

    Specify the name of the file to which the transmission results are to be output. Express this file name as a full path. This item is optional.

    Output format

    Specify the format of the transmission results output file.

    If you specify binary, the serial data of the FTS_FTP_API_DATA_EX and FTS_FTP_API_RETDATA_EX structures is output.

  10. If necessary, set the job type as a PC job and associate the jobs.

    The following figure shows an example of the settings.
