Client Connection: FTPS
Fields with the asterisk * are mandatory.
| Properties | Description |
|---|---|
| NAME * | Name of the FTPS connection you are creating. The maximum number of characters is 128. Blanks and these special characters: ' " | are not supported. |
| DESCRIPTION | Description of the FTPS connection you are creating. The maximum number of characters is 2048. |
| STATUS | Enable or disable the client connection. Possible values: |
| HOST * | Remote host IP Address or hostname. |
| PORT * | Port to connect to the remote host (1 to 65535). |
| USERNAME * | Username to be used for the connection. The maximum number of characters is 320. |
| PASSWORD * | User password. |
| CONNECTION TIMEOUT | Number of seconds without network activity to wait before closing a session due to inactivity. Default value: 60. |
| CONNECTION MODE * | How data connection is established, possible values: When setting the “Active mode file transfer”, the client will establish a control connection to the server and the server will establish a data connection back to the client. With “Passive mode file transfer”, the client will establish both a control connection and a data connection to the server. |
| CONNECT THROUGH DMZ | Enable or disable DMZ proxy. Possible values: |
| CLIENT KEY LABEL | Key identifier to create the SSL connection |
| SSL CONTROL | Possible values: With “Explicit”, the client protects the data channel. With “Implicit”, the partner decides if the data channel must be protected or not. When selecting “Implicit”, the DATA PROTECTION value (above) will be set to CLEARTEXT. |
| DATA PROTECTION | Force data channel protection. Possible values: PROTECTED (default value) CLEARTEXT |
| SSL AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOL | Select the SSL authentication protocol:
|
| ACCEPTED CIPHER SUITES | Select the cipher suites. ALL or specific values in the drop-down list (See ACCEPTED CIPHER SUITES):
|
| MATCH SERVER HOSTNAME | Possible values: When set to Enabled, the Client verifies that the Distinguished Name (DN) certificate contains the IP that has been contacted (i.e., the HOST value above). |
| MAX RETRIES | Maximum number of retries. If this field is empty or set to 0, no retries will be executed and the job will be set to Failed if the first attempt is not successful. A high value corresponds to a high number of retrying attempts. |
| RETRY INTERVAL | This field will appear only if you have set the maximum numbers of retries to 1 or greater. Time (in seconds) waited before retrying executing a job. The lower the value, the more frequent the retrying attempts. If this field is empty or set to 0, no retries will be executed and the job will be set to Failed if the first attempt is not successful. |
| CONFIGURATION TEST | Use this section to test that the Cluster and the STENG are connected correctly. Select a Cluster and a STENG you want to test and click the TEST button. Data One automatically selects a Cluster and a STENG to test the connection. Note that a Cluster will be selected only if it is the only one available. A message with a green check will confirm a successful connection. A message with a red exclamation mark will warn about an unsuccessful connection. The message also details the reason why the connection fails. The connection might not be successful for different reasons, each of them depending on the transport type and the configuration. The first time you try to test the connection, if trusting certificates are missing, an error message detailing the unsuccessful connection will appear. In this case, go to Setup → Untrusted Cache → Certificates tab and trust the relevant certificates. Note that trusting certificates in the Untrusted Cache page may not be sufficient to establish a successful connection. Refer to the Untrusted Cache section of this guide for all the details. |
