To Configure File Synchronization Through FTP or HTTP

I thought HTTP would fit that criterion to not be spelled out, but MS says it should be spelled out when you are talking about protocols (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/a-z-word-list-term-collections/h/http-https) so I did.2024/11/0614:03:05-05:00Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server.

To Configure File Synchronization (FTP or HTTP)

[2]janice.paganiniPer the procedure guidelines (see https://wiki.acumatica.com/display/DOC/Procedure), we need to start a new section with a similar title before we have the numbered instructions. I know this is strange in a short topic; I don't like the design of procedures, and they are being phased out in favor of activities (but some still exist). I rephrased it slightly so the reader isn't looking at two identical titles. (If it still seems too close, you could vary the section title further in these topics by saying "To Set Up" instead of "To Configure.")2024/11/0613:15:50-05:00

  2. To find the file, in the Selection area, specify criteria to help you find the file. These criteria can include the file name (or part of the file name), the time interval of the import, and the name of the user who imported the file or checked it out. The table lists the files that match the criteria you have specified.
  3. In the table, click the file to open the File Maintenance form for this file and view information about the file.

  6. In the Path box, enter the path to the desired file on the FTP or HTTP server.
  7. In the Login and Password boxes, type the username and password of an account with sufficient rights to allow system access to the shared file.
    Attention: If you synchronize files with an FTP server, you should use a username [5]janice.paganiniSomething is wrong with this text .. I am not sure if it means without only the slash or backslash or without the slash, comma, and backslash. Would you please check on this and fix the text? If we mean without the slash or backslash, the characters in question should be in italics and we should say "without the / or \ character [singular]" ...2024/11/0610:43:47-05:00without the / or \ character in synchronization settings.
