compress1, compress2

Compresses the file before the transfer for each host.

Destsize

Verifies the size of the file after a successful transfer.

If a file transfer has spaces in the file name and it fails during this verification, you must not select this option, as some FTP servers do not list file names with spaces.

This option is only available on Windows and UNIX FTP servers.

Checksum

Verifies that the file transferred correctly by executing MD5 checksum on the FTP server.

Notes: This option is available only for FTP Servers that support either the XMD5 or the SITE CHECKSUM checksum commands.

For UNIX FTP servers, ensure that the md5sum program is installed on the FTP server search path, to enable the SITE CHECKMETHOD MD5 and SITE CHECKSUM commands to work properly.

Restart

Resumes the file transfer from the point that it failed.

If you connect to an FTP server, you must select this option, as well as the Rerun from point of failure checkbox in the Properties pane, as described in Defining a File Transfer job.
