Setup#

Create a User Connection Group specifically named *exactly* "ConnectionProfiles" , on Preferences->IP/servers page.


Go to user Manager, select the "ConnectionProfiles" group, create a new user, and add to it a remote VFS named *exactly* "server"



Configure this VFS item to point to a remote location:

---

Usage#

Then use in Job tasks with the syntax {connect_start}profilename{connect_end}. This will bring in the URL for the connection profile where that is configured.

Special Usage (rarely used functionality):#

In a UserVariable task item, you can use the name of that task item to have the connection profile. Example: {connect_start}conn2{connect_end}
Now the UserVariable task can reference any aspect of this connection.

{connect_url}
{connect_x_myvariable} - where myvariable is an Extra Text item you added at the bottom of the User Manager for this profile.
{connect_other} - where other is any other property from the loaded XML item.

11.2.2_10+ has greater potential for utilizing Connection Profiles.

1. Jobs: Save a remote item as a connection profile.

Browse the remote connection and save it as a connection profile.



List Connection Profiles, and consider filtering or renaming them as needed.
