FTP

In HULFT Square, you can transfer files using an FTP connection via a VPN.

Note

To establish an FTP connection, you need to create a VPN service in advance. For details about how to create a VPN service, refer to VPN.
On Windows, the FTP commands of Windows PowerShell support passive mode by default.

The FTP client at the Windows command prompt can't transfer files because it supports only active mode.

FTP is a paid option. To create FTP services, you need to install the application from App Square.

In FTP, you can create, restart, and delete FTP services, and manage the users who can connect to these services.

You can operate FTP from > SERVICES > FTP in the navigation menu.

The key points about creating and configuring FTP services are explained in this section.

Points for settings

Grant permissions to the group that needs to operate the services. When you create FTP services, determine the allocation of CPU resources and the memory size depending on the data being handled.

Note

To configure FTP service settings, either one of the following permissions and "ViewVPNService" are required:

FTPServiceFullAccess
FTPServiceAdminAccess
