Creating an FTP Connection Profile

Create a new FTP connection profile to supply the runtime connection information for an FTP server.

You can create and use an FTP connection profile the design phase or during the deployment phase. However, you can also use the fully-configured default EAServer connection profile installed with Sybase WorkSpace if this profile suits your requirements.

Note: If you change the connection properties of a connection profile that is already connected, the profile immediately disconnects from the resources and automatically attempts to reconnect using the updated information.

In Enterprise Explorer, right-click the server type or enterprise resource for which you want to create a connection profile and select New.
On the Wizard Selection page, select the appropriate connection profile type and click Next.

Enter a name and description for the connection profile, and click Next.
