If a file requires a password to download or you wish to set a password for a new upload, use the QUOTE FPWD command to set/clear a password. See example:

Wildcat! allows for a short and long description to be set for the file to be uploaded. If not provided, Wildcat! has an internal logic to check for a FILE_ID.DIZ description file for zip files uploaded. If a MP3 file is uploaded, any MP3 tags found in the file are used for setting the file short and long description When no descriptions are found or set, Wildcat! FTP will use the short description: "File uploaded via FTP."

Use this command to set or unset various FTP server options. The available FTP server options are:
FTP> quote xopt 230-Wildcat! Extended options (QUOTE XOPT options) 230- TUS use local machine temp storage for uploads 230- DUS use direct wildcat! storage for uploads 230
By default, when a file is uploaded, wcFTP will use a temporary storage area to allow any special processing/scanning of the file prior to being moved and posted in the file storage area. For some operations with very huge file uploads, this can take a long time in moving files across a network. By using the DUS server option, this allows wcFTP to use the file area storage location as the temporary file area. This avoids any further file high overhead network movement.

Limit file listing/downloads with zero downloads. This quote command is useful for users who need to prepare a listing (dir) or download (get) of only new files only. In this case, new files are defined as never been downloaded before and has a download count of zero. Once the file is downloaded, the file statistics download count is incremented. When LZDC is enabled, the file will be hidden from the user during the session and can no longer be listed or downloaded.
FTP> .. user is logged in ...
FTP> QUOTE LZDC ON
FTP> GET file1.zip
FTP> GET file2.zip
Once the files are downloaded, they will no longer be available for any subsequent attempt to download or listing. The QUOTE LZDC command need only be issued once during the FTP session.
Note, the files are still in the Wildcat! files area database and are available for future downloads unless deleted or the LZDC command is used again in future FTP sessions.
Set the User ID value for private file uploads.
FTP> QUOTE PFID 3456 230 Private file user id 3456 set for user: CompanyXYZ FTP> PUT file1.zip FTP> QUOTE PFID CompanyABC 230 Private file user id 22256 set for user: CompanyABC FTP> PUT file1.zip FTP> QUOTE PFID 230 Private File User ID Cleared
The file1.zip will be posted for the user CompanyXYZ only and file2.zip will be posted for the user CompanyABC only. The files will be securely hidden from all other users.
Note, the uploader is always considered an owner of the file and can always access the uploaded file.
Note, the Wildcat! Configuration File Areas option "Allow Private Files" must be enabled in order to use private files feature.
To clear the private file user id for subsequent file uploads, issue the command again without any parameters as shown in the example.
