Connection Tab

The Connection tab contains the following fields:

Timeout: The number of seconds to wait when attempting to connect to the server. A timeout will occur if the connection cannot be established in the specified amount of time. If this field is left blank, the default timeout value is 120.
Connection Retry Attempts: The number of times to retry the connection if it cannot be established. This setting is used for both the initial connection and any reconnect attempts due to lost connections. If left blank, then no retries will be attempted.
Connection Retry Interval: The number of seconds to wait between each connection retry attempt.
For instance, if you want
Managed File Transfer
to retry the connection up to 10 times with a 5 second delay between retries, then specify 10 for the Connection Retry Attempts and 5 for the Connection Retry Interval.
Initial Remote Directory: The initial directory to start in after connecting to the SFTP server. If left blank, then the initial directory will be the home directory assigned to the user on the SFTP server.
The SCP and SSH tasks do not utilize this field.
Throttle Bandwidth: Limit the inbound and outbound bandwidth used for SFTP and SCP file transfers based on the policies set on the Global Settings Bandwidth tab.
SSH servers and tasks do not utilize this field.
