FTP Host: FTP Tab
- Security Modes
- For FTPs servers only.
- Possible values:
- None - For servers that require Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
Indicates non-secure transfers; commands and data are clear-text.
- SSL Implicit - For servers that support only SSL
connections.
- SSL Explicit - For servers that support SSL through the use
of either the AUTH SSL or AUTH
TLS command.
- Default value: SSL Explicit
- Default Data Type
- The data type used when transferring files to and from the FTP server.
- Possible values: ASCII or
Binary
- Default value: ASCII
- Data Channel Mode
- The sets the default behavior for opening data port connections between the FTP
client and FTP server.
- Active mode
- causes the client to listen for an inbound connection from the server during
data transfers. The Low Port / High Port, if left at 0/0, will be a
random number between 1024-65535; otherwise specify a specific range. Because
this is active mode, this port range must be open inbound on your firewall.
- Passive mode
- causes the server to listen for an outbound connection from the client during
data transfers. The server indicates the IP address and port number. The FTP
server will cycle through port numbers, usually a subset of 1024-65535.
Substitute Passive IP Address indicates that VersaLex should ignore the
IP address specified by the server and reuse the command port address instead.
(This may be necessary if the server is advertising an internal rather than an
external IP address.)
