Advanced Server Settings
FTP isn’t a strictly-defined standard, so not all FTP servers work the same way. Use these settings to apply special case settings to individual servers.
- Server List
- The server these settings will apply to. Default means all FTP servers. Click the button at the bottom of the list to add a new server.
- Server Type
- If you know the specific software package your FTP server uses, choose it here. (This can be helpful if Coda is misbehaving with your server.)
- List Spacing
- Does your server use one space or two spaces to separate columns in file listings?
- Text Encoding
- The text encoding used for file listings.
- Text Composition
- The normalization format of unicode text. Linux- and Windows-based servers use NFC, while OS X-based servers use NFD. (Read more about unicode normalization formats.)
- Limit Connections
- If your server places a limit on simultaneous connections, enter it here.
- Connect Timeout
- How long shall Coda wait for the server to respond to a connection attempt?
- Busy Retry
- How long shall Coda wait between retries in the event your server is busy?
Advanced
