# About the Transfer File (FTP) Tool

The Transfer File (FTP) Tool is used to create a Task Step that uploads or downloads one or more files to and from one or more FTP Servers. This is a powerful tool which can be used, for example, in the automated publishing of key information to Intranet / Internet sites.

When uploading, the files in question may be created by King Task Centre Steps or may already exist within an accessible file system. For example, documents produced by the Format type Steps can be produced dynamically and uploaded to an FTP site in a single Task.

Multiple FTP servers and their authentication details can be defined globally and their use is then transparent in the rest of the product.

A list of files or folders to be transferred by the Step is defined in the Main tab of the Transfer File (FTP) dialog box.

Within each file transfer definition, it is possible to specify options controlling upload or download, static or dynamic FTP Server to use and static or dynamic files.
