remote_host Property

The domain name or IP address of the OFTP server.

Syntax

def get_remote_host() -> str: ...
def set_remote_host(value: str) -> None: ...

remote_host = property(get_remote_host, set_remote_host)

Default Value

""

Remarks

The remote_host property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or Domain Name of the OFTP server. It is set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is in progress.

If the remote_host property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, the remote_host property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

If the class is configured to use a SOCKS firewall, the value assigned to this property may be preceded with an "*". If this is the case, the host name is passed to the firewall unresolved and the firewall performs the DNS resolution.
