The following table lists the FTP protocol parameters.
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
FTP over SSL/TLS (FTPS) |
Defines the communication protocol as FTP over SSL/TLS |
Clear Command Channel |
Sets the transmission mode in a control connection from an encrypted mode to clear text mode. You can secure sensitive information, including your user name and password, by sending them in an encrypted mode, and then use the CCC sub-command to change the transmission mode back to clear text mode to send the port and IP information (FTP over SSL/TLS). |
Clear Data Channel |
Encrypts the connection process while files are transferred without encryption. You can select this option if you want your login information encrypted and your files transferred without encryption. |
SSL Implicit |
Automatically creates an SSL connection between the MFT client and the FTP server (Default port 990). In SSL Explicit mode, the MFT client connects to the FTP server and then changes the connection to SSL mode (FTP over SSL/TLS). |
SSL Security Level |
Defines the SSL security levels for the host as 2, 3, or 4. For more details about SSL security levels, see SSL Security levels. |
FTP Passive |
Initiates the data and control connections from the FTP client to the FTP server, which solves firewall issues. |
Substitute IP address |
Forces passive connections to use the host address. |
Extended Passive Mode (EPSV) |
Determines whether to use the Extended Passive Mode, where the FTP client uses the same IP address to open a data channel. This is mainly used for IPV6 environments.. |
