AS3 Host: FTP Tab

Security Modes
If the AS3/FTP server requires use of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL), select a security mode.
Possible values:
  • None - 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. The only valid Data Type for AS3 commands is Binary.
Data Channel Mode
The default behavior for opening data port connections between the AS3 client and AS3/FTP server.
Active mode
Client listens 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
Server listens for an outbound connection from the client during data transfers.  The server indicates the IP address and port number.  The AS3/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 might be necessary if the server is advertising an internal rather than an external IP address.
