Using firewalls with WS_FTP Server

When you use a NAT (Network Address Translation) firewall, you may encounter problems when trying to use SSL encryption. A possible fix to this issue is to enter information on the Firewall - Passive Connection Settings page. The settings on this page set the file transfer host to respond to a PASV command by returning the IP address and port range of the NAT firewall. In many cases, this lets you use SSL through a NAT firewall.

  1. From the top menu, select Host > Host Settings > Firewall Settings. The Firewall - Passive Connection Settings page opens.

  2. Set the appropriate options.
  3. Click Save.
