Check21 Configuration

The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

If the file specified by FTPRemoteFile exists and OverwriteRemoteFile is False, BuildAndUploadFile will fail with an error indicating the file exists. OverwriteRemoteFile is true by default.

ArchiveType: Indicates the type of archive that supports each Check in this file.
