TOC File Settings

You may connect with remote folders that have Table of Contents (TOC) files. TOC files contain detailed information about the folder. In long and complicated directories, the TOC files can be quite large. If you download very large TOC files, they may interfere with CuteFTP's performance or operation.

To configure the TOC File settings

1. On the main menu, click Tools > Global Options (or press ALT+F7).

2. Expand the Navigation node, then click TOC Files. The TOC Files options appear.

3. Configure options as described below.

   • Select the Load TOC Files check box to download TOC files automatically whenever connecting to a remote folder. If you clear this check box, TOC files are not downloaded.

   • In the If the TOC file size exceedsnKbytes, then prompt before loading box, specify the maximum size (between 1 and 1,000 kilobytes) TOC file CuteFTP downloads without prompting for permission.

   • In the TOC include masks box, type file names or extensions that CuteFTP should consider as TOC files, then click Add. You can use wildcard masks. To remove a mask, click it in the list, then click Remove.

   • In the TOC exclude masks box, type file names or extensions that CuteFTP should NOT consider as TOC files, then click Add. You can use wildcard masks. To remove a mask, click it in the list, then click Remove.

   The TOC include masks and the TOC exclude masks act as a double filter to help CuteFTP determine whether a file is a TOC file. For example, if you type Index* in the TOC include masks and *.html in the TOC exclude masks, a file named Index.txt would be considered a TOC file, but a file named Index.html would not.

4. Click Apply if you are going to make changes to other pages; click OK to save changes and close the Global Options dialog box.
