Enabling Passive FTP Mode
When managing Network preferences, you can require passive FTP mode. Passive FTP mode causes the FTP server to open a connection to the computer on a dynamically determined port. This can be more convenient for computers but it requires that port filters are properly configured on the FTP server.
To enable passive FTP mode:
1In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2Make sure the correct directory is selected and you are authenticated.
To switch directories, click the globe icon. If you are not authenticated, click the lock and enter the name and password of a directory domain administrator.
3Select one or more users, groups, computers, or computer groups.
4Click Network and then click Proxies.
5Set the management setting to Always.
6Select Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV).

Disabling Internet Sharing
Although Internet Sharing is a convenient way for computers to share Internet access, turning it on can disrupt your network (because it can cause conflicts with DHCP and NAT services).
To reenable Internet Sharing, you must log in to the computer locally and enable it in the Sharing pane of System Preferences.
To disable Internet Sharing:
1In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2Make sure the correct directory is selected and you are authenticated.
To switch directories, click the globe icon. If you are not authenticated, click the lock and enter the name and password of a directory domain administrator.
3Select one or more computers or computer groups.
4Click Network and then click Sharing & Interfaces.
