  • Advanced
  • Security


Note
titleNote!

You can configure part of the parameters in the Filename Sequence or Sort Order service tabs. For further information, see Workflow Template (3.0).

Connection Tab

The Connection tab contains configuration settings related to the remote host and authentication. 

...

SettingDescription
Duplicate Criteria - FilenameSelect this option to have only the filename compared for the duplicate check. If the filename is in the list of files which have already been collected once, the file is ignored by the agent.
Duplicate Criteria - Filename and Timestamp

Select this option to have both the filename and the time stamp of the last modification, compared when checking for duplicates.

Note
titleNote!

If the number of files to be collected is greater than the file list size, files older than the oldest file in the list are not collected.



Advanced Tab

The Advanced tab contains configurations related to more specific use of the SFTP Advanced service.

SettingDescription
Max Async RequestAdvance setting to tune the maximum asynchronous request a SFTP server can be handle, leave it empty, will use the default value(100) from library.

Port

Enter the port number that the SFTP service is to use on the remote host.

Timeout (s)

Enter the maximum time, in seconds, to wait for response from the server. 0 (zero) means to wait forever.

Accept New Host Keys

If you select this check box, the agent overwrites the existing host key when the host is represented with a new key. The check box is empty by default so that the default behavior is to abort when the key does not match.

Note
titleNote!

Selecting this option causes a security risk since the agent will accept new keys regardless if they might belong to another machine.


Enable Key Re-Exchange

Use this check box to enable and disable automatic re-exchange of session keys during ongoing connections. This can be useful if you have long lived sessions as you may experience connection problems for some servers if one side initiates a key re-exchange during the session.

Additional Hosts

You can add additional host names or IP-addresses that may be used to establish a connection. These hosts are tried, in sequence from top to bottom, if the agent fails to connect to the remote host set on the Connection tab.

Use the buttons AddEditRemoveMove up and Move down to configure the host list.
