File Transfer Wizard

You can use the File Transfer Wizard to connect to a remote FTP server, and move files between the local machine and the server.

To run the wizard, open Infor Smart Office Navigator and then select Lawson Transactions > Other > File Transfer Wizard.

After the wizard is open, provide values for these fields:

  • FTP Server: The fully-qualified domain name of the server. On the Port field, specify the port number.
  • User Name: The user name of the account that will be used to log in to the FTP server.
  • Password: The password of the account used to log in to the FTP server.
  • Encryption: From the drop-down list, you can select None, SSL, or TLS.
  • Initial Directory: Optional. You can specify another directory if you want to start in a location other than your default or home directory

You can save the specified FTP information and credentials as a profile. Click Save and you will be prompted to specify a name for a new profile. When done, click OK.

When all the required information has been provided, click Submit to establish the connection to the FTP server.

Note: For a Windows FTP server, the directory list output format must be set to Unix style.
