Switch preferences: FTP proxy

If your system environment requires FTP connections to pass through a proxy server, you must fill in the configuration details for the proxy server. Otherwise, you will not be able to use the FTP receive and FTP send tools.

Property	Description
Name or IP address of host	Name or IP address of the proxy server on your local network.
Type of proxy	The type of proxy: No proxy: no proxy is required for FTP connections Tunneling proxy: uses the HTTP protocol SOCKS4 proxy: uses the SOCKS4 protocol SOCKS5 proxy: uses the SOCKS5 protocol
Proxy user name	The user name for logging in to the proxy server.
Proxy password	The password for logging in to the proxy server.
Proxy port	The port number for communicating with the proxy server.

Note: If you are using the FTP proxy protocol (type of proxy = No proxy), do not forget to enter the appropriate proxy information in the FTP receive and FTP send properties:

In the FTP server address property, enter the name or IP address of the proxy server (instead of the FTP site being targeted).
In the user name property, append an @ sign and the target FTP site address (domain or IP address) to the regular user name ( "<ftpserverusername>@<ftpserveraddress>").
The other properties, including the password, remain unchanged.
