Header Indication Regex Expression

Description

Specifies a regular expression used to help identify lines which comprise the header in the output of a LIST command. All the declared lines of the header (see Header Lines To Skip, above) must match the regular expression.

Required Values

A regular expression. The default varies based on the FTP server’s operating system. If there is no reliable way of identifying the header lines in the LIST command’s output, leave this parameter undefined.

Additional Information

The regular expression “^ *total” indicates that each line in the header starts with “total,” possibly preceded by blanks, for example:


      total 6
      -rw-r-----   1 ed        usr           110 Apr 15 13:43 AAA
      -rw-r--r--   1 ed        usr           110 Apr 15 13:33 aaa

If the regular expression is undefined, then the header is solely determined by the value of the configuration parameter Header Lines To Skip.
