The Configuration window is your first stop on your initial run of ScriptGate.  This is the place where you setup your connection details, text editor, and all of your CMHC/MIS System Directories.  NOTE: A server, port number, file editor, and at least one CMHC/MIS System Directory are required to use ScriptGate.

Click on a area below to find out more about it's function.

Server
The is the name or IP address of the server you want to connect to.

Port
This is the port number of the FTP server on the system you specified in Server.  NOTE:  The default port for FTP is 21.  You shouldn't have to change this.

Command Timeout
If your system is slower or you are on a slow link, you can change this timer to keep ScriptGate from timing out on commands.

Passive Transfers
This is a alternate method of doing FTP transfers if there is a Firewall between you and your system.

FTP Keep Alive
With this enabled, ScriptGate will send a command every 30 seconds while connected to keep the system from disconnecting you for being idle for more than a few minutes.  We recommend disabling this if you are on a dial-up connection.

Refresh File List After Upload
If you are on a slow link, unchecking this option will speed up your transfers by not refreshing the remote files list when you do a upload.

File Editor
This is where you put the location and file name of the program you wish to use for your text file editor.  MainTree Systems recommends UltraEdit from IDM Computer Solutions.

CMHC/MIS System Directories
This is where you specify the paths on your system that contain your different copies of CMHC/MIS.  We support up to 255 system directories.
