FTP Proxy User Template

Reference:        FTP Connection Options
                        FTP Proxy Password Template

This field is used in one of two ways.  For connection types of Internet Proxy Login and Internet Proxy Site, it must contain the value required to log on to the proxy server itself.  For a connection type of Internet Proxy Template, this fields acts as a template for building the string that will be sent with the User command.  The field is ignored for all other connection types.

Proxy templates can include the following wild cards:

            %U       Insert the Address Book User ID
            %P       Insert the Address Book Password
            %A       Insert the Address Book Server Address

Beyond FTP examines the template, replaces any wildcards with the appropriate address book information, and sends the result to the proxy server as the user name.  For example, suppose the proxy server requires simply the FTP user id and the FTP server address, separated with a ‘@’. The template would be:

            %U@%A

Beyond FTP might expand the template to:

            Anonymous@ftp.aptnet.com

If the proxy required a user id as well, the template might be:

            User01@%U@%A

which might expand to:

            User01@Anonymous@ftp.aptnet.com
