GoAnywhere Directorcan connect to FTPS (FTP over SSL) servers for secure file exchange. When defining a FTPS resource inGoAnywhere Director, you need to indicate the FTPS connection properties such as the host name (or IP address), user and password. Optionally you can specify the certificates to use for authentication.

Basic Tab

Name

A user-defined name which identifies the FTPS server. This name should be descriptive enough so users can quickly identify this FTPS server when prompted to choose from a list (for example, "Bank FTPS Server" or "Windows FTPS Server in San Diego"). The name cannot exceed 50 characters.

Description

A short paragraph that describes the FTPS server. The description is optional.

Host

The host name or IP address of the FTPS server.

Port

The port number to use for connecting to the FTPS Server. If left blank, the default port number is 21.

User

The user name (login name) to use for connecting to the FTPS server.

Password

The password to use for connecting to the FTPS server. After entering the password, you can optionally click the Encryptbutton, which will encrypt the password when it is stored inGoAnywhere Director'sdatabase.

Note: If you do not wish to store the password for the FTPS server resource, the password can be supplied when executing a Project.

Is Password Encrypted

Indicates whether or not the password is encrypted. You should choose the option of Yesif you clicked theEncrypt button for the Password.

Connection Tab

Use Passive Mode

Indicates whether or not the FTPS connection will use Passive or Active mode. SpecifyYesto use Passive mode. SpecifyNoto use Active mode. If neither value is selected, then the default mode of Active will be used.

There are two modes in FTPS communications: Active and Passive.

In Active mode, the FTPS server will attempt to connect back to a port on theGoAnywhere DirectorFTPS client in order perform the data transfer. The challenge with Active mode is that your firewall may block the FTPS server from trying to open a port back into your network.

In Passive mode, the FTPS server does not need to connect back to a port on theGoAnywhere DirectorFTPS client, which is a more firewall-friendly mode. Therefore, if you have problems with connecting to the FTPS server, you may want to change the mode to Passive by selectingYesfor this option.

Data Connection Start Port

The starting port number to use for the data connection. This should be used when Active (non-Passive) mode is specified and there is a limited range of open ports on your firewall allowed for data connections.

Data Connection End Port

The ending port number to use for the data connection. This should be used when Active (non-Passive) mode is specified and there is a limited range of open ports on your firewall allowed for data connections.

List Parser

The list parser to use for the FTPS server connection. If left blank, the default of UNIX is used.

When a directory listing (DIR) command is sent to an FTPS server, most FTPS servers will return the listing in a UNIX-style format. If you experience problems listing directories, select a different List Parser.

Timeout

The number of seconds to wait when attempting to connect to the FTPS server. A timeout will occur if the connection cannot be established in the specified amount of time. If this field is left blank, the default timeout value of 120 seconds will be used.

Connection Retry Attempts

Proxy Tab

Proxy Type

GoAnywhere Directorsupports SOCKS (version 4 and 5), HTTP tunneling through an HTTP proxy and GoAnywhere Gateway. HTTP tunneling requires that the HTTP proxy supports the CONNECT HTTP method. Not all HTTP proxy servers may support the CONNECT method and some might only allow HTTPS traffic. When using an HTTP proxy that requires authentication, Basic and Digest authentication schemes are supported. Check with the network

administrator for the correct proxy type.

When using a proxy for an FTPS resource, the Use Passive Mode option on the Connection tab should be set to Yes.

Host

The host name or IP address of the proxy server.

If the Proxy Type or Host fields are blank, a Direct connection to the target host is implied.

Port

The port number to use for connecting to the proxy server. If left blank, the default port for an HTTP connection is 80 and SOCKS is 1080.

User

The user name to use for connecting to the proxy server.

Password

The password to use for connecting to the proxy server. After entering the password, you can optionally click the Encryptbutton, which will encrypt the password when it is stored inGoAnywhere Director'sdatabase.

If you do not wish to store the password for the proxy server in the FTPS server resource, the password can be supplied when executing a Project.

Is Password Encrypted

Indicates whether or not the password is encrypted. You should choose the option of Yesif you clicked theEncrypt button for the Password.

SSL Tab

Connection Type

Indicates if the connection type isImplicit SSLorExplicit SSL. The preferred connection type is the more modern Explicit SSL standard, however some trading partners may still require Implicit SSL. If this field is left blank, then the default connection type of Explicit SSL will be used.

Security Protocol

Indicates whether SSL or TLS should be used for Explicit SSL connections. TLS is the latest security protocol standard, however many trading partners still use the SSL protocol for Explicit SSL connections. If this field is left blank, then the default security protocol of SSL will be used.

Clear Command Channel

Indicates whether or not to use a clear command channel (CCC) for the FTPS connection. SpecifyNoto keep the command channel encrypted. SpecifyYesto not encrypt the control command channel (however, the actual data transfers will remain encrypted). If neither value is selected, then the default value ofNowill be used.

SSL connections require a Clear Command Channel (CCC) when connecting from behind a NAT firewall.

SSL Context Protocol

The protocol to use when creating the SSLContext. Valid values areTLS,SSLandSSL_TLS. If a value is not specified, then the default value ofTLS will be used. This value depends on the security providers you have installed in the JRE (Java Runtime Environment).

On some IBM JRE implementations, the default value of TLS will not work if the FTPS server does not support TLS. In this case, specifySSLorSSL_TLS.
