Attachmate.Reflection.Objects.Emulation.OpenSystems Library / Attachmate.Reflection.Objects.Emulation.OpenSystems Library / FileTransfer Object / FTPSendFile Method
Specifies a local file. This string can be empty or can contain just drive and path information, in which case the host filename is used to generate a local filename. This string cannot contain wildcard characters.
Specifies a host file or files to be transferred. This string can contain wildcard characters (to transfer multiple files). The wildcard characters must be appropriate for the host system.

A TransferTypeOption Enumeration value that specifies what type of file is being transferred.

TransferTypeOption_ASCII specifies ASCII file transfer. Reflection applies the ASCII File Translation options (as specified on the Translation tab in the File Transfer Setup dialog box) to the data in the file as it is transferred.

TransferTypeOption_Binary specifies binary file transfer. Data in the file is not translated as it is transferred.

TransferTypeOption_AutoDetect determines file transfer type by the file extension. Use these properties to determine which file extensions are linked to which transfer type: TransferAutoDetectDefaultType; TransferAutoDetectASCIIExtensionList; and TransferAutoDetectBinaryExtensionList

A DestinationFileExistsOption value that specifies what to do if the file already exists on the host. The possible values are:

DestinationFileExistsOption.AskUser prompts the user to specify what should be done.

DestinationFileExistsOption.Cancel stops the transfer.

DestinationFileExistsOption.Update performs the transfer only if the host file is newer than the PC file.

DestinationFileExistsOption.Delete deletes (overwrites) the existing file.

DestinationFileExistsOption.Append appends the contents of the host file to the existing PC file.

DestinationFileExistsOption.Rename renames the file being transferred. The existing file retains the original name. The last three characters of the file being transferred are changed to 001. If such a file already exists, the filename is changed to 002, and so on up to 999.

DestinationFileExistsOption.Skip skips the file (the transfer does not take place, but no error results).

Specifies a date and time. Only host files created or modified before the specified date and time are transferred.
Specifies a date and time. Only host files created or modified after the specified date and time are transferred.
Specifies one or more files to be excluded from a wildcard transfer. The filenames can include wildcards.
