2. Filename Modification

• Select the way how you want to covert the filename case while transferring the files.
• It is useful with the “case-sensitive file-system” like UNIX and Windows to transfer the files.
• You can use the replace “\:*?” checkbox, which allows the automatic modification of the files name to get it matched with the requirements of windows.

On download, WinFTP Pro:

• The character can be replaced, which are not allowed under the windows files name (/\:*?\” <>|) with %XX, [ XX denotes the hexadecimal representation of character ASCII code]
• The trailing space can be replaced with %20
• The trailing dot can be replaced with %2E
• %00 can be added at the end of each name with a reserved meaning under windows (For example- PRN or NUL)
• WinFTP Pro always reverses the modifications on up uploads, because it restores the original file’s name.

Upload Options

• Using the checkbox of set permission allows you to define the permissions, which can be set for uploaded files.
• The unchecked files uploaded newly will have some basic/default permissions.

Download Options

• The checkbox called, “Preserve Read-Only” enables the WinFTP pro software to set the “Read-Only” permission while downloading the files.
• You will not find the option if the server is unable to support the “UNIX-Styled” permissions.

Common Options

• The timestamp called Preserve enables WinFTP Pro to preserve the previous/last amendments timestamp of each file that is transferred.
• You should check all the sub-options along with the directories if you want to reserve the last/recent changes timestamps of the directories.

• The Edit button will help you edit the file mask in the “File mask dialog.”
• On the option of the checkbox can make the WinFTP Pro software to omit the files in the source directories.
• For this, the existing file will be the target directory which will have a similar/new timestamp.
• Check the Exclude files which are hidden if you wish to exclude the hidden and the files from synchronization and transfer.
