Firewall Settings

A firewall is a control system that prevents unauthorized users from accessing a local network connected to the Internet.

If you are behind a firewall or proxy, go to the Firewall tab in the Options dialog to configure TurboFTP to connect through the firewall. You'll need to get information about your firewall from your network administrator.

Use Firewall

Enable use of firewall and information given in fields below -- [Host], [User], [Password], [Port], [Firewall Type] will be applied.

Use PASV Mode

For some router-based firewalls, you will need to use passive mode, in which the "data" connections are established by the client rather than by the FTP site.

If selected, TurboFTP will always use PASV mode to establish a data connection to an FTP site. You can, however, disable PASV mode in the settings of an individual site.

Host

Enter the firewall server name here.

User ID

Enter the account user ID on the firewall server. It is not always required.

Password

Enter the password (if needed) of the account on the firewall server.

Port

Enter the firewall server port here, which is usually 21 or 1080 for Socks 4 or 5.

Firewall Type

Select your firewall type here. If you don't know which one to choose, ask the network administrator.

The following firewall/proxy server types are supported:

1. HTTP Proxy

2. SITE hostname

3. USER after logon

4. Proxy OPEN

5. Transparent

6. USER RemoteID@Remotehost:port

7. USER RemoteID@Remotehost port

8. USER FireID@Remotehost

9. USER RemoteID@RemoteHost FireID

10. USER RemoteID@FireID@RemoteHost

11. Check Point FireWall-1

12. SOCKS 4

13. SOCKS 4a

14. SOCKS 5

Use Port Range

Limit the port range you want to use. This can be necessary when you are using a firewall. A valid port number is an integer between 1 and 65535.

Bind Local Ports to This IP

This allows you to specify which IP address to use for local connections.
