To enter firewall information, you will need to get data about your firewall from your network administrator. For more information, see Firewall Types above.
For some router-based firewalls, you will want to use passive mode, in which the data connections are established by the FTP client (WS_FTP) rather than by the FTP site.
To configure a firewall:
Select Tools > Options.
Select the Firewall dialog.
Click New.
Enter the following information in the Firewall Properties dialog. For more information on the Firewall Properties, refer to the application Help.
Name - A descriptive name for this firewall configuration. You can use any name that helps you recall how or where this firewall configuration is used.
Hostname - The firewall Host Name or IP Address.
UserID - If needed, enter the UserID for the firewall.
Password - Enter the password for the firewall. We do not recommend selecting Save Password unless you are the only user of your computer.
Type - Select the firewall type from the drop-down list.
Port - Enter a port number.
When you click Finish, the firewall will be added to the Configured Firewalls list.
You can also assign the firewall configuration to the site, as described in Using a Configured Firewall below.
