Operating Environment
- The examples have been written for use in on Windows and Unix environmentssystems. Settings files for Windows and Unix systems are available for download via the links in the next section.
- The examples presented on this page use public demonstration FTP and SFTP servers that we have configured for this purpose on our web site.
- Both servers have the same address:
- A user demo can log on with password demo and download demonstration files. They cannot upload or delete files.
Configuration file Format and Editor
Configurations for the JADE Client up to and including Release 1.10 are saved in text-based settings.ini
files. From Release 1.11 onwards XML configuration will be used, which will significantly reduce the complexity of more extensive configurations.
The SOS GmbH has developed the XML Editor which provides an easy to follow graphical representation of JADE XML configurations and uses forms to guide users through the process of developing configurations. The XML Editor saves JADE configurations in the XML format and can generate a working settings.ini
configuration file. A comparison of both formats can be found in the JADE User Manual - Configuration Formats & Tools article.
We strongly recommend the use of this editor which uses an XSD schema to validate should bring a significant reduction in configuration errors and debugging time.
