Report Caster FTP Distribution Information
Trying to FTP theoutput of a standard report.
Under the Distribution Tab for a 'Distribute Reports by' what is it looking for in the 'Distibution Informatin' section? I ahve tried email addresses xxxxx@ferris.edu and file names, like deanslist.xls but get an error message in the log, 'Uable to distribute...'
But yet the file gets distributed.ftp'd.

Do you really want to FTP or send the report to an E-mail address? If you FTP you need FTP server names and passwords. If you distribute the report by E-mail...then you just put the E-mail address.

Best place to find the answer is in the Report Caster documentation. It covers all those parameters and what they are used for. STart there.
