Custom connection settings

To fine-tune some specific settings of FTP & Cloud Connection Actions, it is possible to configure additional custom options. All these settings are optional:

Option	Details
AutoReconnectCount	Set the number of times Automation Workshop tries to restore broken connection to the remote server, without causing Task to fail. Default value is `5`.
MinTlsVersion	Configure the minimum version of TLS required for SSL requests. `3` · Secure Sockets Layer version 3, aka SSLv3 `10` · Transport Layer Security version 1, aka TLS 1.0 `11` · TLS 1.1 `12` · TLS 1.2 `13` · TLS 1.3
MaxTlsVersion	Configure the highest allowed version of TLS. Default value is `13`. Use none, only one, or both of available version adjustment options (MinTlsVersion and/or MaxTlsVersion).
DebugLogPath	To log every aspect of connection session, provide path to log folder. Each connection session creates 2 files—one for client-server requests, and other for debug & support purposes. Syntax example: `C:\Debug\My files\logs\`
TimeDifferenceMinutes	Set remote server time adjustment against UTC time in minutes.
TimeDifferenceHours	Time adjustment against UTC time in hours. Use only one of available time adjustment options (either hours or minutes).
SyncEmptyDirectories	Applies to the Synchronize Directories Action. Allows you to skip empty directories and folders during synchronization, in addition to the filters specified in the Sync Filters section. `On` · Empty folders are synced (default value) `Off` · Empty folders are skipped The SyncEmptyDirectories option ensures that all directory structures are synchronized, even if they contain no files. This applies to folders that are genuinely empty at the source, but does not apply to those that appear empty at the destination due to file exclusions by filters.
Proxy	If your connection to the Internet is behind a proxy server, you can additionally configure the proxy connection settings to specify a proxy host, port, username, password, etc.

Notes

To disable auto-reconnect, use AutoReconnectCount option with a 0 value.
Time difference options are ignored by most SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and DigitalOcean Spaces servers. They already report all timestamps in UTC.
Automation Workshop supports the latest TLS 1.3 version (and TLS 1.2), as well as older and already deprecated TLS 1.1, 1.0, and SSL 3.0 versions · see SSL and TLS history.

Time difference example…

Local PC time is 10:42AM
UTC time is 07:42AM
FTP server reports incorrect time 03:42AM
We set TimeDifferenceHours to 4, so FTP server now reports correct UTC time 07:42AM as it was located in GMT timezone.
