intelligentFTP Settings

For a remote replication using the intelligentFTP tool, ImageManager requires:

Path

Path to the FTP server.

Note: You need a functioning FTP server and link between the local and the remote site for intelligentFTP to use. Unlike a manual FTP transfer, the intelligentFTP tool automates the process to ensure that the image chain replicated at the remote site is restorable.

Security

ImageManager can encrypt the FTP link using either SSL or SSH based on how the Destination FTP server is configured. You can choose None, SSL or SSH.

If you want to enhance security, you can remove the no security (None) option from the Security field. To do this, open a Command Prompt (as Administrator) and run the following command line:

Copy

ImageManager.exe /c ftp=off /f

Warning! Running the command above will cause previous replication jobs that don't have security (where None was selected as the Security option) to fail. This is expected behavior.

Block Size

(Default: 65536 bytes)--The size range is from 1-131072 bytes.

Mode

You can select Active or Passive based on the destination's firewall configuration. (An FTP connection made in Active Mode may appear to the destination firewall that the sender is trying to initiate a connection directly to one of its internal clients. Typically, firewalls will block this type of connection. Making an FTP connection in Passive mode can avoid this problem.)

Authentication

(Default: Enabled)--Provide ImageManager with the authentication credentials needed to log into the FTP server or network resource (Domain/Computer/NAS name, Username, and Password).
