Proxy server: Enter the name of the server. This can also be the IP address.

Port number: Enter the port number which identifies the proxy service. Some services or processes have conventionally assigned permanent port numbers. Click the Default button to select this number automatically.

Create individual directories for each dictation during upload: By selecting this option, you can create a separate directory for each dictation on the specified FTP server. This directory contains the dictation and all related files, such as the file for special instructions if available. By default, this option is enabled, but if you disable it, then dictations will be copied to a single directory and hence the older version of a dictation will be overwritten.
