FTP settings tab

Destinations

Use this tab to configure an FTP destination. Documents routed to this destination will be sent to the FTP server specified. You can access this tab when you create or configure an FTP destination.

You can configure a default value and a dynamic override for each option. Default values are used to manage the documents as they are being sent to the destination. You can choose to dynamically override the default values using document properties. To enter an override value, right-click in the desired override text box and select Insert Document Property. A menu containing all of the available properties displays. You can select a property from the list or type the property name. If a property is selected and it contains a value, that value is processed instead of the default value.
