IF FILE EXISTS …
 

Select what you want to do if you try to download a file that already exists in your computer's download directory. You can choose different actions in case the incoming file has a modification date that is older, same or newer than the existing one, or if the incoming file has no modification date at all (e.g. when transferred with Xmodem).

Additionally you can specify, if you want the old (existing) or the new (incoming file) renamed (if rename is chosen somewhere).


SPECIAL FILE EXTENSIONS
 

ZOC lets you list extensions of files that should be downloaded to an alternate directory (see Options→Program Settings→Folders) and files that should be deleted after they were uploaded successfully.

The file extensions may contain the * and ? wildcard characters and need to be separated by vertical bars, but without space characters, like this: GIF|Q*|MO?|TU?

Note: Specify file extensions only, not full file names (i.e. '*.GIF|ABC.DOC' will not work)

Note: If you want to implement a more complex scheme to manage downloaded files, you can use the ZOC-Events REXX file (see Options→Program Settings→Special Files).


MISCELLANEOUS
 

Show JPG/GIF pictures while downloading
 

ZOC is able to show pictures while downloading them. For this purpose the file SHOWEM.DLL are provided in your ZOC directory. If you do not like this feature, it can be disabled.
