Setting FTP access options for testing

The purpose of this dialog box is to provide information about your FTP access to the testing server where you store files for testing.

To set FTP options for your testing server:

1. Enter the host name of the FTP host to which you upload files for testing.

   Your FTP host is the full Internet name of a computer system, such as ftp.mindspring.com. Enter the full host name without any additional text. In particular, don’t add a protocol name in front of the host name.

   NOTE

   If you do not know your FTP host, contact your web hosting company.

2. Enter the path to the folder where you store files for testing or click the folder icon to browse to the folder.
3. Enter the login name and password that you use to connect to the FTP server.
4. Select the Use Secure FTP (SFTP) checkbox to use SFTP for secure authentication.

   SFTP uses encryption and public keys to secure a connection to your testing server.

   NOTE

   Your testing server must be running an SFTP server.

5. Click Test Connection to test your login name and password.
