7.3 FTP Export of folders and documents

The action action menu Export   allows the transfer of a complete file tree via FTP to an FTP server, e.g., the file tree of the pages of a Web site. By selecting the  File    Export   action in the top menu bar you will receive a form where you specify the parameters which are required for the transfer of the folder.
You may also export a single document by selecting action menu Export   from the document's action menu.
In the case of a folder, all documents and sub-folders within the folder are transferred. Empty folders are not transferred. The export form requires the following parameters:

  • FTP host
  • FTP path on the FTP host
  • FTP user name
  • FTP password
  • the file-name character set on this specific FTP host

The FTP parameter (except the password for security reasons) are saved and remain available for future export operations; of course, they can be overwritten later.

When repeating an export operation to the same FTP server, only those documents are transferred which have been changed since the most recent export operation, unless it is explicitly specified that all documents shall be exported.
