TOC F

ILE SETTINGS

You may connect with remote folders that have Table of Contents (TOC) files. TOC files 

contain detailed information about the folder.  In long and complicated directories the TOC 

files can be quite large. If you download very large TOC files, they may interfere with 

CuteFTP s performance or operation. 

To access the TOC File settings 

1.  From the menu, choose Tools > Global Options. The Global Options dialog 

appears. 

2.  In the left pane, expand Navigation. 

3. Select 

TOC Files.

If the TOC file size exceeds 

n 

Kbytes, then prompt before loading.   

o 

Choose the maximum size TOC file CuteFTP downloads without prompting for 

permission. Choose a size between 1 and 1,000 kilobytes. 

TOC include masks 

o 

Enter file names or extensions that CuteFTP should consider as TOC files.  You can 

use wildcard masks. 

o 

Add includes your entry in the list of TOC include masks. 

o 

Remove deletes the selected item from the TOC include masks list. 

TOC exclude masks 

o 

Enter file names or extensions that CuteFTP should NOT consider as TOC files. 

 You can use wildcard masks. 

o 

Add includes your entry in the list of TOC exclude masks. 

o 

Remove deletes the selected item from the TOC exclude masks list. 

Note: 

The TOC include masks and the TOC exclude masks act as a double 

filter to help CuteFTP determine whether or not a file is a TOC file. For 

example, if you put "Index*" in the TOC include masks and *.html in 

the TOC exclude masks, a file named "Index.txt" would be considered 

a TOC file, but a file named "Index.html" would not.
