# About the Server Tab

The Server tab is the default tab displayed when the File Item Add dialog box is displayed and is used to select either a static server connection or to enter data dynamically for each server setting where the data is available in a column from the data source being used. The tab contains the options listed below.
|  | Static — This option is used where a fixed server connection is to be used and provides the following:
|  | Connection — Displays a list of available connections for selection.
|  | Dynamic — This options provides the following for configuring the server connection settings:
|  | Server — A server path and name may be manually entered or a database column or variable containing the path and name dragged and dropped into the field from the Task Browser.

|  | Port — The port number to be used may be manually entered or a database column or variable containing the port number dragged and dropped into the field from the Task Browser.

|  | User — The user name to be used may be manually entered or a database column or variable containing the user name dragged and dropped into the field from the Task Browser.

|  | Password — The password to be used for the selected user name may be manually entered or a database column or variable containing the password dragged and dropped into the field from the Task Browser.

|  | Passive — This field is used to select a "passive" connectivity to the recipient FTP Server. From the drop down list, options of True or False may be selected. Alternatively you may drag and drop a property from the Task Browser dialog box into the field but this property must resolve to either True or False. The Client can then initiate both parts of the FTP connection (Data & Command) to reduce the risk of firewalls filtering the Data Port information.

|  | Options — Checking this option drops the connection to the server after the file transfer.
