Ftp Login Overview

Contents > Dialog Reference > Ftp Login Dialog

The Ftp Login dialog is used to collect the information that is required to log onto your web site's FTP server to select the documents and directories to disallow.  Once the login information is collected, choose the OK button and RoboGen will log onto the server.

Logging In
You enter the url or IP address to the site you are logging into in the FTP Server box, for example if your web site is www.mysite.com then your ftp server url could be ftp.mysite.com, please check with your web host if you are not sure what your FTP url is.  If you need to use a user name and password to access your FTP site then check the This server requires me to log in check box and enter the information in the now enabled edit fields.

You can choose to store your password by selecting the Remember Password option.  This is provided as a convenience and it might be a good idea to leave it unsolicited if others have access to your computer.

Document Root
The document root options let you specify the way you want RoboGen to handle the document root.  You can let RoboGen auto detect common roots such as public_html, you can use the root that the server returns when logging on to it, or you can specify a directory to be the document root.

Create New Robot Exclusion File
If this option is selected then the current bot rules are cleared and a new a new workspace is created, otherwise all the current settings are left and you can continue to add more disallows to the same file.
