 Key Name         Value          Description
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 HOSTNAME         hostname       This sets the hostname to be
                                 accessed using an FTP Host
                                 object.  This value is designated
                                 in the "Hostname" field on the
                                 Host page.
                                 For example:
                                   ftp.software.ibm.com

 USERNAME         username       This sets the username to be used
                                 when accessing a hostname using
                                 an FTP Host object.  This value
                                 is designated in the "Username"
                                 field on the Host page.

 PASSWORD         password       This sets the password to be used
                                 to access the given host with a
                                 given username.  This value is
                                 designated in the "Password"
                                 field on the Host page. This
                                 value is not required when the
                                 object is created.  If one is not
                                 specified, the user will be
                                 prompted to enter a password when
                                 the host is accessed. If
                                 specified, passwords are stored
                                 in an encrypted form when set.

 ACCOUNT          account        This sets the account value to be
                                 used when accessing a given
                                 hostname or username using the
                                 FTP Host object.  This value is
                                 designated in the "Account" field
                                 on the Host page.  This value is
                                 required only when the FTP server
                                 being accessed maintains account
                                 information for host accesses.

 FILETRANSFERTYPE
                  ASCII          This sets the default file
                                 transfer mode for an FTP Host
                                 object.  This value is designated
                                 by selecting the ASCII "Default
                                 download type" radio button on
                                 Host page 1.

                  BINARY         This is the default file transfer
                                 mode.  This value is designated
                                 by selecting the BINARY "Default
                                 download type" radio button on
                                 Host page 1.

 REMOTEDIR        path           This specifies which directory
                                 will be used as the initial
                                 working directory when connecting
                                 to a host system using the
                                 specified FTP Host object.  For
                                 example:
                                   e:\public\bin,., /

                                 This value is designated in the
                                 "Preferred remote directory"
                                 field on the Host page 2.  The
                                 syntax of this path specification
                                 must be in a format understood by
                                 the remove host's operating
                                 system.  The given username and
                                 account must have permissions set
                                 to access this directory on the
                                 remote host.

 LOCALDIR         path           This specifies the directory to
                                 be used as the default download
                                 directory for GET operations
                                 using the FTP Host object if one
                                 is not explicitly indicated.
                                 This value is designated in the
                                 "Preferred local (download)
                                 directory" field on Host page 2.

 INCLUDE          pattern        This is used to filter remote
                                 files and directories from the
                                 FTP Host object's open views.
                                 This value is designated in the
                                 "Only display files matching
                                 pattern" field on the Include
                                 page.  The syntax of the pattern
                                 must be understood by the remote
                                 host's operating system.
