FTP

PASV/PORT: Specifies the appliance use PASV connection

connection

mode. PASV/PORT is the default FTP connection mode. If

mode

PASV mode fails, the appliance uses PORT mode to initiate

 

the data connection, and then the appliance accepts it.

 

PASV only: Specifies that the appliance initiates the data

 

connection to the FTP server, and the FTP server accepts

 

it. This mode is firewall-friendly, however, some FTP servers

 

do not support it.

connection, and the appliance accepts it.

 

FTP transfers require two connections: a control connection to

 

inform the FTP server of a request for data and a data

 

connection to send the data. The appliance always initiates

 

the control connection. FTP mode determines whether the

 

appliance or the FTP server initiates the data connection.

respond in time, the appliance abandons the user’s request.
