The Web Server FTP Property dialog is shown below:
The FTP login account must have at least read privileges for the logfile directory. See your network administrator for further information on the privileges of the FTP login account being used.
FTP Login Parameters
FTP Server: The domain name that the ClickTracks Server will use to read the logfiles. In many cases, this will be the same as the web server domain name.
User Name: The user name for FTP login. This account must have read access to the logfiles.
Password: Corresponding password for login.
Passive Mode: Some firewall configurations require this setting.
Secure Mode: As of version 5.6.0, ClickTracks will support Secure FTP. Simply check the box to make the data download secure.
Test Connection Button: Click this button to verify that the FTP parameters entered will successfully log you into the FTP server. If the connection fails, check your login parameters or contact your network administrator for additional help.
Logfile Settings
Logfile Directory: The path to the location of the logfiles on the FTP server
Browse: Click this button to log in to the FTP server and browse the directories to the location of the logfiles. Select the directory name from the dialog box and click OK. The directory value will be placed into the Logfile Directory field.
File Exclude Mask: Exclude this file pattern mask to limit the logfiles selected for processing. Separate each file mask with a semicolon.
File Include Mask: Use this file pattern mask to select only the files to be processed. Separate each file mask with a semicolon. Typical file masks are .log;.zip;.gz.
Advanced Settings
Under the Advanced Settings tab, additional settings allow you to control the FTP download and provide more information about the nature of your logfiles.
Delay time between connections: This is set to no delay by default. It is only necessary if the program is having difficulty connecting.
Assume Microsoft IIS: If ClickTracks knows that the logfile is rotated in the typical fashion of IIS, then it can inspect which files to download much more quickly.
Customize Apache logfile format: Because Apache logfiles do not include a header, it is possible that the logfile might not be clear as to which field is which. This dialog allows you to manually specify which fields contain which data in the logfile.
