Configuring security
options are:
- Blank: No security.
- FTPS: Adds support for cryptographic protocols.
- SFTP: An additional means of securely transferring files across the Internet, providing the ability to have secure, efficient, file transfer. This feature requires an enterprise license.
FTPS
Select FTPS dialog box, where SSL-related settings are configured.
from the menu and click to open the- Encryption options are:
- : This is implicit encryption, where the client connects to an implicitly secure port on the server.
- : This is explicit encryption, where the client issues FTP commands to explicitly tell the server to go to secure mode. This is the default.
-
Select the mode from the list.
-
This is used to select the openSSL version from the list: All, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2, and TLSv1.3. When you select an SSL protocol, a description of the selected protocol is shown in the comment field together with the Mode description.

SSL Cipher Suites
Set ciphers in this field. If no cipher is set, then the default cipher suites are used. If this field is not set, then the default cipher suites are used.
- Anonymous mode:
server: !DEFAULT:HIGH:ADH
Client: ALL
- Non-anonymous

HIGH:RC4+RSA:+MD5:!DHE:!3DES:!EXP:!ADH:!AES256-SHA:!AES128-SHA:!EDH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!NULL

SFTP
Select the SFTP dialog box, where SSL-related settings are configured.
option from the menu and click to open theThe Private Key Password field is a password and is encrypted in NetConfig.
- An SFTP server using OpenSSH does not support the append option on SFTP uploads. When using the append option on SFTP uploads, the server must support this option.
- libcurl does not do a complete ASCII conversion when doing ASCII transfers over FTP. This is a known limitation. libcurl sets the mode to ASCII and performs a standard transfer. Therefore, be careful when using ASCII mode in SFTP transfers.
