| Context |
This article describes a function or feature of the software ZOC Terminal. The feature or element of the software described here is 'File Menu'. ZOC Terminal is a professional terminal emulator that is well known for its extensive features, security, user friendlyness, wide range of emulations and quality of emulation implementation. ZOC Terminal is a common choice to replace other terminal emulators like Putty, Kitty, Termius, Secure-CRT, Attachmate Extra!and others.
The File menu connects to a host and controls the current connection. Host directory entries that are shown in this menu can be called from here.
Some connection types add their own commands (for example Telnet's Are you there). Those commands are described with the connection type.
| Quick Connection | |
This function opens a dialog to allow you to connect to a host as
required, without creating a Host Directory entry (see
Quick Connect).
| |
| Host Directory | |
The host directory is a dialog to maintain your personal dialing directory or
to connect to one or more numbers from it (see
Host Directory).
| |
| Reconnect | |
If a connection was terminated, this function will connect to the same host again.
| |
| Disconnect | |
Disconnects the current connection.
| |
| New Window | |
Opens a new ZOC window.
| |
| New Tab | |
Opens a new tab within the ZOC window.
| |
| Close Tab | |
Closes the current session tab.
| |
| ZOC Configuration Data | |
Opens a submenu for the folder in which ZOC stores its configuration.
| |
| Show Configuration Data Folder | |
Opens the folder that contains ZOC's configuration data.
| |
| Export Configuration | |
Saves the current configuration to a file. The file can be kept as a backup
or imported on another computer.
| |
| Import Configuration | |
Loads a configuration which was saved with Export Configuration.
| |
| Print Screen | |
This function lets you print the contents of the terminal window (in
raw ASCII mode).
| |
| Save Screen | |
Saves the contents of the terminal window to the file defined in
Options→Program Settings→Special Files.
If the file already exists, the text will be appended.
| |
| Accept Connections | |
This function turns accepting incoming connections on or off for the current
connection type. For Telnet, ZOC listens on the port or address set in
Options→Session Profile→Connection Type
(Port/Address where telnet will accept connections).
For Serial/Modem, ZOC sends the auto-answer commands from
Options→Session Profile→Connection Type.
In that mode the modem answers an incoming call and tries to establish a
data connection (this is not useful if voice calls are also expected on that line).
| |
| Stop AutoLogin | |
This function aborts automatic login initiated from a host directory entry
(see Changing Host Directory Entries). AutoLogins
are indicated by the 2nd LED in the status line being pink.
| |
| Call Next in Queue | |
If you select more than one host to call from the host directory, ZOC will
connect to the first of them that is available. After finishing the call
you can select this function to try to reach the next available host.
| |
| Reset Communication | |
This function will reset the connection type to its default state.
For modems this means that the init string defined in the
Modem Options will be sent to the modem to set it
to a defined state. It will do this regardless of the current carrier detect
state.
| |
| Send Break | |
Sends a break signal. For Serial/Direct and Serial/Modem the duration is
Break Signal in
Options→Session Profile→Connection Type.
Some systems use a break to stop the current operation. Other connection
types perform a similar operation or ignore the command.
| |
| Connection Type Dependent Functions | |
Some ZOC communication methods (e.g. Telnet) add method dependent functions.
These are described in the input/output devices section
of the help file.
| |
| Connect XXXX | |
At the end of the file menu appear those entries from the host directory that
have the Menu Access option enabled (see
Changing Host Directory Entries). This is handy
for hosts which you call often.
| |
| Exit | |
Quits ZOC. | |
