This window is shown when selecting Edit configuration from the Destination->FTP server window.
General
Reset to configuration
If you want to add a new FTP location, the <New> option should be selected. To edit an existing FTP location, select it from the drop-down list. All fields will be filled with the values of the selected FTP.
FTP server
| • | Server name or IP - In this field you have to enter the name or IP address for the FTP server |
| • | Port - In this field you have to enter the port number if different than the default FTP ports (21). |
| • | Destination - Here you can enter the destination path if different than root. |
| • | User name - If this is a private FTP server (no anonymous access allowed) enter the user name for your account. |
| • | Password - In this field enter the password for the FTP server. |
Bandwidth limitation
Bandwidth limitation - allows setting different limitations for upload/download speeds:
| • | Limit upload speed - if checked you can set a maximum upload speed for the FTP transfer |
| • | Limit download speed - if checked you can set a maximum upload speed for the FTP transfer |
Advanced
SSL encryption level - indicates the level of Transport Layer Security (TLS) required for control channel and data channel connections to the FTP server:
| • | No SSL - the server does not require Secure Socket Layer transport |
| • | Implicit SSL - implies that Secure Socket Layer is in use |
| • | Only explicit SSL - allows the connection to the FTP server only if TLS is available. |
| • | Explicit SSL, if available - when SSL is available, uses explicit security by default. The server allows regular FTP sessions without encryption as well as encrypted FTP sessions using SSL. |
Use passive mode for transfers (like WWW browsers) - each file transfer (upload or download) needs an additional connection for the data stream. Normally (in active mode), the server establishes this connection. In passive mode, however, the client establishes the connection. This may be necessary through some firewalls, which do not allow connections from outside.
Use extended passive mode - the FTP Server operates exactly the same as passive mode, however it only transmits the port number (not broken into high and low bytes) and Backup4all is to assume that it connects to the same IP address that was originally connected to. Use this option if the normal passive mode connection failed.
Use XCRC when testing (if available) - if the server supports the XCRC extension Backup4all can verify that files transferred to the server have been transmitted correctly using the CRC information received from the FTP server. This results in faster testing, as the files will not be downloaded to perform the CRC testing.
Timeout - you can set the time interval (in seconds) that is allowed for no data transfer before the transfer operation is interrupted and must be resumed. Default is 15 seconds.
Firewall
Proxy type - select one of the options below (supported by your firewall) if you use a proxy to connect to the FTP:
| • | None - Sends the User name and optional Password for the FTP server as entered in the FTP window |
| • | Send command USER - Sends the User name and optional Password defined in the proxy settings, followed immediately by the User name and optional Password for the FTP server. |
| • | Send command SITE - Sends the User name and optional Password defined in the proxy settings, the SITE command with the Host value, and the User name and optional Password for the FTP site. |
| • | Send command OPEN - Sends the User name and optional Password defined in the proxy settings, sends the OPEN command with the Host value, and the User name and optional Password for the FTP site. |
| • | USER user@firewalluser@hostname / PASS pass@firewallpass - Sends the command USER user@proxyuser@host, then the command PASS pwd@proxypwd, or optionally PASS pwd. |
| • | Transparent - Sends the User name and optional Password defined in the proxy settings, followed immediately by the FTP server User name and optional Password. |
Host name or IP - In this field you have to enter the name or IP address for the proxy server (firewall).
Host port - Type the port number if different than the default port (80).
User name - This field is used to enter the proxy user name.
Password - In this field you can enter the password for the specified user name.
