4.6 Precautions When Using FTP Client

4.6.1 Precautions for FTP Client Operation

 When specifying a non-existent folder
• When a specified folder does not exist when uploading files, folders are automatically
created up to eight hierarchies.
• When no folder is created, an error occurs and the process is terminated.
 When specifying a file with the same name
• When a file with the same name exists in a specified folder for downloading a file, the file is
overwritten.
• The operation when a file with the same name exists in a folder of a specified FTP server for
uploading a file varies according to the specifications of the FTP server.
 When using a wild card (* or ?) in file names
• When an error occurs in the middle of uploading/downloading one file, the
uploading/downloading continues up to the last file. If there is a file which could not be
transferred after the completion, an error occurs.
• When an error occurs in the middle of uploading/downloading one file, retry is to re-execute
the transfer with the same file card. Therefore, files created from the failure of transfer till the
execution of retry are also transferred.
• When using the function which deletes files on successful completion of upload/download,
files are deleted on successful completion of uplaod/download one by one.
• An error occurs when the number of files which match wild cards 100 or more.
