Configure FTP Content Filtering

Some malware threats are specifically developed to spread through the FTP protocol. By default, the UTM scans FTP traffic, but you can disable scanning of FTP traffic, or specify how the UTM scans FTP traffic and which action is taken when a malware threat is detected. The UTM does not scan password-protected FTP files.
