The Connect screen displayed by the Script File Wizard is shown below:
Connection Method
Select the method for connecting to the remote site.
Dail-Up Networking - Choose this option to use Dial-Up Networking to connect to the Internet for FTP file transfers. The connection to use is selected in the next field.
Use connection - Select the Dail-Up Networking connection to use for FTP file transfers. The connection must have been previously created. The connection shown initially was selected as the default during Robo-FTP configuration.
Direct Internet connection - Choose this option if you have a direct Internet connection (e.g. LAN, Cable, DSL, ISDN, etc.)
Script command reference: DIALNET
Site name
The identity of the remote site. You may choose the name of a Robo-FTP managed site or enter the server's IP address or URL (ftp.acme-widget.com)
Script command reference: FTPLOGON
Time-out
Select the desired connection time-out value in seconds. If a connection cannot be established in this period of time, the connection operation fails and an error is reported. A time-out value of 0 means the connection attempt will never time-out.
On failure
If a connection fails, the script file you are creating can handle the failure in one of two ways:
Retry - Repeat the attempt to connect a specified number of times
Stop Immediately - No additional connection attempts
If you select the Exit option the script processing jumps to the exit logic defined in Step 5 after any retries are exhausted, otherwise script processing simply stops. If you select Display Message Box a popup dialog is displayed on failure.
Script command reference: LOOPTO, LOOPCOUNT, IFERROR, MESSAGEBOX, GOTO, STOP
