Upload Options

The Upload Options window allows you to determine how FileSWEEP will format the files you upload if you do not choose a format for them.

 

You may access the Upload Options window if you open the FileSWEEP menu, select FileSWEEP Upload, and then from within the Upload Single File window, choose the [Additional Options] button.

 

 

The Upload Options window offers the following features.

If Duplicate File

This item allows you to choose what FileSWEEP should do if it encounters a duplicate file on your host.

 

Overwrite

This choice will overwrite the previous file on your host.

 

Cancel

This choice cancels the transfer if FileSWEEP finds duplicate file name on your host.

 

Append

This choice will append (or add) the file you upload to the duplicate file on your host.

Record Delimiter

You must use this option to tell FileSWEEP what distinguishes one record from another in the file you upload.

 

CR/LF

This choice tells FileSWEEP that each record appears separated by a carriage return and line feed character.

 

CR

This choice tells FileSWEEP that each record appears separated by a carriage return.

 

Tab

This choice tells FileSWEEP that each record appears separated by a tab character.

 

None

This choice tells FileSWEEP not to separate one record from another.

Micro Record Length

This option allows you to specify the length of the records in the file you upload. If you do not wish to specify this length, select the Auto option and CTCBridge will find this value for you.

Host Record Length

This option allows you to specify the length of the records in the file you upload, as they appear on your PC. If you do not wish to specify this length, select the Auto option and FileSWEEP will find this value for you.

Host Blocking Factor

Use this option to specify how many records fit in one block on your host system. (Your host system stores its data in blocks, and the size of these blocks should be as close as possible to the sector size of your host disk as possible, to conserve space.) Choose the Auto check box if you want FileSWEEP to set this value automatically.

Append Sequence Numbers

If you enable this option, CTCBridge will add numbers, in a numeric sequence of your choice, to each record in the files it uploads to your host.

This option only applies to host file types which contain sequence numbers. Those file types are:

·   ALGOL

·   DCALGOL

·   Sequential

·   COBOL

·   COBOL74

·   DASDL

Start

The number you enter in this box will be the first in the numeric sequence of files which FileSWEEP appends to the filenames of files you upload.

Increment

FileSWEEP will add the number you enter here to the host file name each time you upload a file.

View Data As Transferred

This option will display the data you transfer.

Expand Tabs To Spaces

This option will convert tabs to spaces when FileSWEEP uploads a file.

Honor Ctrl+Z As End of File

This option tells FileSWEEP to consider a "Ctrl+Z" character as the end of a file (ASCII decimal value of 26). Some DOS applications designate the end of text files with "Ctrl+Z" characters.
