FTP

FTP is a low-security, simple file transfer protocol that is easy to set up and widely supported.

In the Security Settings for FTPS, select Implicit TLS or SSL or Explicit TLS or SSL.

Implicit TLS or SSL is typically used in legacy or pre-configured environments where security requirements mandate all connections to be encrypted by default. The client and server automatically establish a secure channel without any negotiation, with encryption starting as soon as the connection is established.

Explicit TLS/SSL is Commonly used in modern setups where flexibility and compatibility with non-secure FTP are needed. The connection starts unencrypted, and the client explicitly requests encryption by issuing a STARTTLS command. The server then upgrades the connection to a secure one, allowing mixed use of encrypted and unencrypted sessions based on client-server negotiation.

Accept Unauthenticated Certificates: Allows the FTP client to connect even if the server's SSL/TLS certificate cannot be authenticated, useful for testing or non-critical connections.

Passive Mode: Enables the client to initiate both control and data connections, useful for navigating firewalls and NAT environments.
