Settings Description

• downloadNewFiles - Strategy for downloading remote files which are newer than local copies.
  • overwrite - remote files will overwrite local files.
  • skip - remote files will not be downloaded but an appropriate warning message will be shown.
  • edit - remote files will be downloaded into memory and the edit-merge window will be opened to allow the user decide what changes to save.
• keepAlive - Shell and SFTP connections will not be closed after synchronization is done and will be reused for the next synchronization.
• preferZip - Prefer ZIP for uploading source files.
• forceLocalTime - Set local time instead of UTC for archived files. Used when synchronizing via ZIP.
• purge - Execute PURGE command after uploading source.
• setTimeAttempts - The maximum number of attempts to set file time. NOTE: the first attempt to set file time may be rejected because the file is busy. VMS IDE will re-try to set time again.
• setTimeByShell - If the SFTP server on the OpenVMS host did not set the file time, VMS IDE can use DCL commands to do this.
• unzipCmd - Is used to run a user-defined command to unzip archive on the remote side; default is unzip -oo "-D" and file name added at the end of the command.
