Service
The file transfer engine runs as a background service. By default it runs on the Local System account. You often need to change this to another account if you need to access a network folder.
FTP Options
Some older servers do not allow files with spaces or upper case file names. In order to support these by default Fling replaces spaces with underscores and converts all files to lower case. But if you believe you have a newer FTP system, you can turn off the option and try to upload files. Files will then have case and/or spaces preserved.
- Retry FTP connection up to 5 times on failure
Check (tick) this option to automatically retry the FTP action if a problem occurs with the connection. - Replace spaces with _ underscores in file/folder names when ftp operation fails
Check (tick) this option to replace all spaces in file and folder name with underscore characters. This may be needed if the FTP server does not support file names with embedded spaces. Fling will try to use the original name first, but if it fails it will try again with underscores. - Convert file/folder names to lower case when ftp operation fails
Check (tick) this option to convert all file and folder names to lower case characters. This may be needed if the FTP server does not support upper case. Fling will try to use the original name first, but if it fails it will try again with all lowercase.
